1. Type of Actxan
This Environmental Assessment (EAJ has been prepared for the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRj 23,
Part 771 for the purpose of e�aluating the potential impacts of a praposed
transportation impro�ement project.
Z. Description of Action
The Town of Fuquay-Va�ina, in coardination with the North Carolina Department of
Transportation �NCDOT), propases to extend Judd Parkway to complete the loop around
Fuquay-Varina, WaEce County. The project begins at the intersection of NC 55 with
Wilbon Road (SR 1110)/NE Judd Parkway (SR 5056) and ends at the intersection of
NC A�2 with 5outhwest Judd Parkway (SR 2387). i"he projeei will be referred to as NW
Judd Par�way. Figure 1 s�aws the �icinity of the project.
This pro�ect is included in the NCDOT's Z012 appro�ed Srare 7'ransportarion
Improvement Program (STIP) as Project U-5317, Funding far �lanning and design is
pro�ided by the �Fown of Fuquay-Vari�a, partially through a grant from the Capital Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO}, NCDOT is invol�ed fn the preparation of
the environmen�al document for this project as a reviewing agency for Federal Nighway
Administration (FHWAj. Construction and right of way acquisition are currently
unfunded.
The proposed 1.8-mile road will be partially on existing Wilbon Road and partially on
new Iocation. NW Judd Parkway wil! consist of a four-lane roadway with curb and
gutter, a grassed median, and 4-foot bicycle fanes and a 5-foot sidewalk on both sides.
As part of this project, the existing at-grade railroad crassing on Coley Farm Road (5R
11�5) will be closed, and a new at-grade crassing will be induded as part of the
proposed NW Judd Parkway. Washington Street will be extended to intersect with the
pro�osed NW Judd Parkway. Bridge Street (SR �.�.79) will be realigned to intersect with
NW Judd Parkway at the same location as Three Meadows Road.
The purpose o#this project is to improve roadway linkage. NW Judd Parkway will link
NC 55 (to the north toward US �/64j an� NC 42 (to the southwest toward Sanford). It
aiso will fin�C to the existing Judd Parkway, a two-lane road which connects to US 40�. (to
the nartheast toward Raleigh and to the south towar� Lillingian and Fayetteville), NC 42
(to the east toward E-�0), and �IC 55 (to the south toward I-95).
Most of the existing major roads in the Fuquay-Varina area go thrflugh the center of
tow� (�fC 5�, US �401, and NC 42), all of which make at least one 90-degree turn and
most of which crass a railroad track at-grade. This resu[ts in a deffcient transportation
network and poar mobility in this fast-grawing area.

3. Alternatives Considered
Seven alternatives were originally considered (Alternatives 1 through 7, shown on
Figure 3A). At an Interagency Merger Concurrence Point 1& 2 meeting on May 15,
2013, three alternatives were chosen to be carried forward for detailed study. These
were presented at the No�ember 2013 public meetirtg. The three detailed study
alternatives are listed belaw:
Alterna#ive 2�Figure 3B) — Begins at NC 55/N� Judd Parkway/Wilbon Road,
follows Wilbon Road alignment for approxirnately 0.4 miles, ares north of Wilbon
Road on new location then continues on new focation to the sauth, terminating
at NC 42/SW �udd Parkway. The new location portion is a total of approximately
�..4 miles long. Washington 5treet woufd be extended 700 feet to intersect with
NW Judd Parkway.
� Alternative 3(Figure 3C) — Begins at NC 55/NE Judd ParEcway/Wilbon Road,
follows Wilhon Road afigr�ment for appraximately 0.6 miles, continues on new
location to the south, terminating at f�C �2/SW Judd ParKway. The new location
portion is a total of approxirrtately 1..2 miles long. Washington 5treet would be
exiended 8�0 �eet ta intersect with NW Judd Parkway.
• Alternaiive 7(Figure 3D) — Begins at NC 55/NE Judd Parkway/Wi�bon Road,
follows Wilbon Raad alignment for approximately 0.3 miles, ares north of Wilbon
Road on new lacation then cantinue� on new location to the south, terminating
at NC 42/SW Judd Parkway. The new location portion is a total of approxir�ately
1.5 miles long. Washington Street would be extended 45Q feet to intersect with
NW Judd Parkway.

5. Permits Required
li is anticipated that an Indi��dual Section 404 permit will be required from the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USAC�}, The �fSACE holds the fina! discretion as to what permit wiil
be required to authorize project canstruction. If a Section 404 permit is required then a
Section 40�. Water Quality Certification from the NC Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) wiil be needed.
b. Othe�r Highway Actions
NCDOT is underway with two other projects in t�e area. The US �01 Corridor Study
(Project R-2609}, a freeway on new and exi5ting location. The US 401 Corr�dor wou�d be
a regional conr�ectar between Cumberland, Harnett, and Wake Counties, bypassing
Fuquay-Varina on the south and east. The Comple#e 540 project (Projects R-2721, R-
2828, R-2829} would extend the Triangle Expressway from the NC 55 BypasS in Apex to
the US 64/US 264 8ypass in Knightdale. f-540 will fink municipalities in southern Wake
County, and is aniicipated to relie�e congestion on I-�1�0, I-40, N.C. 42, N.C. 55, and Ten
Ten Road.
7. Coordination
As part af the public in�oi�ement process, ane �ublic mee�ing was held. The public
meeting was announced via newsletter and press release. Forty two citizens signed in at
the meeting, ar�d 15 returned writ�en comrnenis. Of the 11 citizens who expressed a

II. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR PROJECT
A. Purpose of Project
The purpase of this �roject is to improve roadway IinEcage. NW Judd Parkway wil! link
NC 55 (to the nort� toward U5 1/64J and NC 42 (to the southwest toward Sanford). ft
also will link to the existing Judd Parkway, a two-lane road which connects to U5 401 (to
the northeast toward Raleigh and to the south toward Lillington and Fayetteville), NC 42
(ta the east toward I-40J, and NC 55 (to the sout� toward I-95). It wi[I complete the Judd
Parkway loop around Fuquay-Varina (shown on Figure 1�. Although the purpose of t�is
project is no't specificaily to improve ievel of service on existing facilities, the proposed
impro�ements will reduce delay at most intersections along the corridor.
B. Need for Project
Severa) major roads ga through �uquay-Varina (shawn on Figure 1J:
• US 401 leads to the northeast toward Raleigh, and to the sauth toward �iElington
and Fayetteville.
• NC 55 leads to the nor'th toward Hol[y 5prings, Apex, Cary, NC 54d, a�d US 1/64.
NC 55 leads to the south toward I-95.
• NC �2 leads to tne east toward I-40, and to the southwest toward 5anford.
However, all of these roads go through the center of tawn. Most of �herr� make at least
one 90-degree turn and cross a railroad track at-grade. This resuits in a deficient
transportation network and poor mobility in this fast-growing area. This poor mobility
is felt most in western and southwestern Fuquay-Varina, where land u5es are primarily
residential.
According to the American Community Survey (20d7-2011 Census �ata), 93% of adults
cor�mute out of Fuquay-Varir�a to work, and the a�erage tra�el time to wark for dri�ers
li�ing in Fuquay-Varina was 34.5 minutes. This is almost 50% greater than the average
tra�el time for iVorth Carolina (24.7 minutes). Of the ap�raximately 7,400 Fuquay-Varina
resider�ts who commute out of town, 30% work in Raleigh, 12% in Cary, and 6% in
Durham. Approximately 5,600 people commute into Fuquay-Var�na for work, living
prirnari{y in unincorporated Wake and Lee Counties, with 10% li�ing in Raleigh and 5%
living in Cary.
!. Description oi Existing Conditians
aj Functronal Classification
The NW Judd Parkway is proposed to have a Federal Functional C[assification of Major
Collector, which is the same cfassification as Wilbon Road and as the existing Judd
Parkway. This project also will maEce modifications to NC 42 (a Minar ArterialJ, Coley
Farm Road (SR 1105j (a Major Collector), and Washington 5treet (a local road).

hJ Physical Description of Existing Facility
Roadway Cross-section
The proposed NW Judd Parkway wil� connect NC 55/N� Judd Parkway (SR 505b]/Wilbon
Road (SR 1110) and �iC �2/SW Judd Parkway (SR 5055), and will widen part of Wilbon
Road.
NC 55 (North Broad Street) is a posted e�acuation route for the Shearon Narris Nuclear
Power Plant. It has curb and gutter and sidewalks on both sides. North of Wilbon
Road/fVE ludd Parkway, it is a four-lane E-nedian-di�ided raad which transitions into a
five-lane road just 5ouih of Wilban Road/NE Judd Parkway.
NC 42 {West Academy 5treet) and Wilbon Road are two-lane undivided roa�s. N� Judd
Parkway is primarily a two-lane road, bt�t the Town plans to widen it to four lanes with a
median as de�elopments are bui[t along the road. SW Jucld Parkway is a two-lane
Boulevard with a corr�bination of a center shared turn lane and a median.
Right of Way and Access Control
Existing right af way on Wilbon Road is ap�roximately 75 feet near NC 55, and narrows

Future (2035] Traffic Volumes
Future traffic volumes with the construction of NW ludd Parkway are prajected to be
23,100 ��d on NE Judd Parkway and between 11,600 �pd (near Coley Farm Road) and
16,7Q0 �pd (near !�C 55) on NW Judd Parkway. Future volumes are shown on Figure 2B.
Future Levels of 5ervice
The precEicted 2035 levels of service at intersections in the stuciy area for the Build and
No Build scenarios are sumrnarized in Table 3.
The intersection of NC 55 at Wiibon Road/NW ludd Parktirvay/NE Judd Parkway is
anticipated to operate at LOS F in tf�e future, e�en if t�is project is not canstrutted. The
EVW Judd Parkway �roject impro�ements are sufficient to achieve L05 D or better in tl�e
tonstructian year �2017), and wauld reduce delays in 2035 compared with not building
ihe project. Additional in�ersection improvements would be needed to achieve LOS D in
2�35, and would be canstructed in the future when traffic volumes warrant the
impra�ements. Table 3 summarizes the LOS at this intersection with the projett
improvements, and with all tuture impro�ements.
As part of this project, Bridge Street wil] be realigned at Wilbon Raad to cannect with
Three Meadows Road. Converting two three-legged intersections into o�e four-legged
intersection would create additional delays for both side street mo�ements. Although
the 5outhbound approach is expecfied to operate at LOS F, no que�ing issues are
expected, and the overall intersection wil! operate ai an acceptable Ievel of service.
Furthermore, long delays are common for side street approaches at unsignalized
intersections with major tharoughfares.
The intersection af NC �2 at Coley Farm Road is anticipated to operate with a bett�r LOS
in the 8ui�d scenaria than in the No Build scenario because the at-grade railroad crossing
will be clased, and the so�th section of Coley Farm Road that intersects with NC 42 will
no longer connect with the north section of the road.

Project U-5317 is consistent with a[l local transportation plans, which include the
followit�g:
The CAMPO 2040 Long-Range Transportarion Plan indudes NW Judd Parkway in air
quality conformity year 2020. It i5 fisted as:

Judd Parkway to the Lincoln Heights neigh�orhoo�. The plan identifies multiple
sidewalks, bike fanes, and a greenway within and adjacent to the study area.
The Fuquay-Varrna GreenwaySystem MasterPlan (January 1999) Edentifies a greenway,
the Sippihaw Trail, on the Judd Parkway loop. The Town is in the process of developing
an updated 8icycle and Pedestrian Plan, w�ich wifl repface the 1999 GreenwaySystem
Master Plan.
The Research Triangle Region 2040 Merropolitan Transportatron Plan (April 2013)
identifi�s proposed on-road and off-road bicycle facilities. fn the study area, the plan
includes local on-road facilities on Wilbon Raad and NC 42; regional on-road and off-
road facifities on the entire Judd Parkway loop; local aff-road facilities on Washington
Street, Three Meadows Road, a�d Bridge Street; and state on-road ar�d aff-road
facilities a� NC 55.
cJ �and Use Plans
Accarding to the Tawn of Fuquay-Varina Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map (July 2010),
there is a mixture of future iand uses propased within the study area. The area currently
owned by To�acco Growers is expected to remain Commercial Land Use, and the area
currently owned by Vaughan's Produce is ex�ected to be developed as High Density
ResidentiaL The remainder of the study area is prEmarily Medium Density Residential
with small areas of Low Density Residential and Office & lnstitution. The project is
within the Urban Services Area, which is the Town's antitipated growth area. T�e future
land use rnap is consistent with recent input from local staff, who anticipate the farm
and forest areas in and adjacent to the study area will be developed in the near future.

• Wil�on Road connects Piney-Gro�e Wilbon Road with NC 55.
• Coley Farm Road connects Wilbon Road with NC �2.
bJ Cammuting Patterns
According to Longitudina� Employer-Household Dynamics data, 94% of the 6,000 adults
living in Fuquay-Varina commute out of tawn to work, and 93% of those warking in
Fuquay-Varina live outside the municipal boundaries. Only 6.7% (354J peop�e both live
and work in town. 7he a�erage tra�el time to work for drivers living in Fuquay-Varina is
34.2 minutes, wF�ich is almost 50% greater than the a�erage tra�el tirne for �Vorth
Carolina (23.1 minutes).
Accarding to #he data, approximately 29% of those commuting out of Fuquay-Varina
work in Raleigh, 12% in Cary, and 7% in �urham. This data does not specify the
employment location af unincorporated areas, such as Wake an� lohnston Counties, or
those working in Research Triangle Park in unincorporated Durham County. Of those
coming to Fuquay-Varina for work, approximately 10% li�e in Raleigh and 5%li�e in
Cary. Local staff noted that many employees also likely live in Narnett and Johnston
Counties.
C. Benefits o�'the Project
The primary benefit of the project is to improve system linkage. A secondary benefit is
to pravide additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities in west Fuquay-Varina.
� �r�:�Mr�:�►r:r������
A. Preliminary Study Alternatives
1. Transp�rtation Demand Management [TDM)
TDM programs that promote alternati�e transportation options other than the single
accupant vehicle rr3ay include ride sharing, park & ride, vanpooling, a�d mass transit.
Those pragrams would not meet the purpose of the project, which is to improve
roadway linkage.
2. Alternative Modes of Transportaiian
Sidewafks ha�e recently be�n constructed aiong most of Bridge Street between Wilbon
Road and NC �2, and along NC 42 from B�idge Street to dawntown Fuquay-Varina.
There are no north-south bicycle facilities on the w�st side of Fuquay-Varina. There is no
fixed transit ser�ice in Fuquay-Varina. Emprovement to these alternati�e rr�odes of
transportation would not meet the purpose af the praject to impro�e roadway linkage.

3. Improve Existing Facility
Bridge Street is an existing north-south route �aralle! with the proposed NW Judd
Parkway, and the existing Wilbon Raad and Cofey Farm Road follow a sEmilar raute to
the proposed NW Judd Parkway (as shown on Figure 3AJ. Wowever, impro�ing the5e
facilities was nat cor�sidered in detail because af impacts to the communities that would
be required. Bath Coley Farm Road and 8ridge 5treet are residential streets, and
widening either road wauld result in unaaeptably high levels of residential relocations.
Both routes also have several curves and 9d degree iurns, whic� wauld not be
consistent with the proposed design speed for this route.
4. New Lacation Alternatives
Se�en afternatives were ari�inallv considered (Alternatives 1 through 7), shown on
F'sgu�e 3A. Each alternative was introduced to avoic� im�acts to ciifferent natural or
cammunity features. At the Merger Concurrence Points 1 and 2 meeting on May �.5,
2013, three alternati�es were chosen to be carried farward �or detailetE study. The
remaining four alternati�es were eliminated for the foilowing reasans:
• Alterr�ative 1—This alternative is proposed to be eliminated primarily because it
relacates a Tobacco Growers Ser�ices Inc. warehouse and two other b�sinesses.
ft also htas one of the highest le�el5 of sfiream impacts compared with ather
afternatives (an estimated 490 feet}.
o Alternative 4—This alternative is propased to be eliminated because it has more
relocations than most other alternatives, including the residentia[ developrnent
under construction. It also has ane of the highest levels of wetland impacts
compared with ather alternatives �an es#irr�ated 3.4 acres�.
• Alt�rnative 5-7hi5 alternati�e is proposed to be elimirtated because it has more
relocations than mast other afterna�ives, including the residential de�elopment
under construction. It has a rnoderately high le�el of impact on wetlands (an
estimated 2.8 ac�es) and streams (an estimate� 385 �eet).
• Alternati�e 6—This alternati�e is proposed to be eliminated because of irnpacts
to fo�r resid�nces and the residential de�elopment under canstruction. lt alsa
impacts two businesses and has the highest impact on wetlands (an estimated
3.6 acres).
B, „No Build" Alternative
The No Build alternative wou[d not build NW Judd Parkway, and would not meet the
project purpose and need. It will be carried forward to serve as a basis for comparing
impacts and benefits of the build alternati�es.

follows Wilbon fioad alignment for approxirr�ately 0.6 mifes, continues on new
Iocation to the south, terminating a� NC 42/SW 1u�d Parkway. The new location
portion is a total of approximately �.2 miles long. Washington Street woufd be
extended 850 feet to intersect with iVW Judd Parkway.
• Alternative 7(Figure 3D) — Begins at NC 55/NE Judd Parkway/Wilbon Road,
follows Wilbon Road alignment for approximately 0.3 miles, ares north of Wilbon
Road on n�w location then continues on new location to the south, terminating
at NC 42/SW Judd Parkway. The new location portion �s a total of approximately
1.5 miles long. Washington Street would be extended 450 feet to in�ersect with

Figures 3B through 3[7 show the propased intersectians.
F. Railroad Crossings
As part of this project, an at-grade crossfng will be added at the iVorfolk Southern
Railraad and the proposed NW Judd Parkway. In exchange for a new at-grade crossing,
the Town has agreed ta close two existing crossings, as shown on Figure 3A: (3.) The
Coley-Farm Road crossing will be clased, and the properties along Coley Farm Road
north af the railraad will be accessed through a new intersection with NW Judd
Parkway. (2) The Dogwood 5treet/Lawrence 5treet crossing wil! �e closed to �ehicles,
but the iown will construct a new pedestrian crossing at that location. T�e Town has an
approved Mun�cipal and Crossing Ciasure Agreeme�t with Norfol�C 5outhern and
NCDOT, which is included in Appendix D.
As par� ofthe Dogwood Street/Lawrence Street crossing closure, the Town also will
pave Southern Sfireet, currently a dirt road t�at connects Bridge 5treet with Lawrence
Street. �'he �edestrian crossing and Southern Street improvements wili be made by the
Town separately from the NW Judd ParKway project.
G. Structures
Alternati�es 2 and 3 would each fikely require one major drainage structure, a 12'x8'
reinforced concrete box cuf�ert (RCBCJ. Alternati�e 7 would require two major drainage

K. Noise Barriers
ihe U-5317 Traffrc NoiseAnalysis (March 2�14} dacumented existing noise levels and
predicted traffic noise impacts. Noise abatement measures were deterrnined to b�
��eliminarily feasible and reasonable in two locations, as shown on Figure 5.
Noise Study Area A includes residences ir� the Windsor Point Retirement Comrr�unity.
Preliminary feasible and reasonable noise abatement here consists of a noise barrier
approximately 750 feet long. Th� current brick wall in this location has gaps in it that
pre�ent it from functioning as a�oise barrier. If these gaps are removed, the need for a
new noise wall may �e eliminated. Noise abatement in Noise 5tudy Area A is proposed
for all three of the detailed study alternatives.
Noise Study Area E includes residences along Coefield Street, which intersects with
Longfellow 5treet near the proposed NW Judd Parkway, and Lincoln Heights Elementary
School. Preliminary feasibfe and reasonable noise abatement here consists of a noise
barrier approximately 1,900 feet long, and is only proposed with Alternati�e 7.

1. Bio�ic Resources
aJ Terrestrial Communities
Five terrestrial communities were identified in the study area: maintained/disturbed,
piedmont bottomland forest (typic fow 5ubtype), mesic mixed hardwood forest {coastal
plain subtype), dry oalc hic�ory forest (coastal plain su�type), and pine forest. ierrestrial
communities are shown on �igure 6, and a brief description of each community type
folfows.
Maintained/Disturbed. Maintained/disturbed areas are scattered ihroughout the study
area in places where the �egetation is periodicalfy mowed, such as roadside shouiders
and residential lawns, or managed for agricultura! practices. The �egetation in this
community is comprised of !ow grawing grasses and herbs, including fesc�e, clo�er, wild
onion, braomsedge, oriental bitt�rsweet, horseweed, poisan i�y, poison oak and cottor�.
Piedmont Battomfand Forest (7ypie Law Subty�eJ. The piedmant bottomland forest
comrnunity occurs througi�out the study area along the headwa�er topographic
crenuiations where ground water and periodic overbank f�ooding from the first arder
streams occur. Tulip poplar, sweetgurr�, red map[e, water oak, black wilEow, and loblolly
�ine dominate the o�erstory cano�y, while giant cane, Chinese pri�et, poison ivy,
multiflora rose, greer�brier, and Japanese grass occur in tF�e understory.
Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest [Coastal Plain Subtype}. The mesic mixed hardwood
farest community exists along the northern edge of #he study a�ea, in small areas
upslope of bat#amland forest communities. A small community of inesic m�xed
hardwood forest is also present south af the railroad tracts, in the southern end af the
study area. Dominant species in this community include American beech, ]o�lolly pine,
sweetgum, red maple, tulip poplar, and narthern red oalc in the o�erstory, and
sweetgum, red maple, American holly, and Christmas fern in the shrub and ground
layers.
Dry Oak Mickory For�st (Coasta! PEain Subtype). A small community of dry oak hickory
forest occurs in the central eastern portian af the stu�y area on an upland ridge,
surrounded by agricultural fields on three of its four sides. This farest community
appears to have been historically logged or c[eared for timber, but is now �egetated
with an established canopy co�er compri5ed of �oblolly �ine, white oak, northern red
oak, and sweetgum.
Pine �orest. Two tracts of pine forest communities occur along the western edge of the
project study area, along upland reaches adjacent to agricultural fields. These tracts
appear to have been recentiy clear cut, with the southern pine torest community
appearing to be only in years 5-10 of regrowth. The Earger, northern tract of pine forest
is older, but appears to be 10-20 years o[d. Dominant �egetation in this comrr�uni#y is
loblolly pine, with eastern red cedar and sweetgum dominating the understory.

b) Aquatrc Gommunities
A�uatic communities in the study area consist of both perer�nial and Entermittent
piedmont streams, as well as still water ponds. Perennial streams in the study area
could support bluehead chub, white shiner, narthern dusky salamander, and redbreast
sunfisl�. Intermittent streams in tne study area are relatively small in size and wo�ld
support aquatic communities of spring peeper, crayfish, and various benthic
rrtacroinvertebrates. Pond habitats cou�d suppart bluegilf, largemouth bass, catfish,
green frag, and banded water snake.
tJ Invasive 5pecies
Four species from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for �lorth Carolina were found to
o�cur in the study area. The species identified were Chinese privet (Threat), oriental
bittersweet (ThreatJ, Japanese grass (Threat), and multiflora rose (ihreatJ. The Town of
Fuquay-Varina will manage in�asive plant s�ecies as apprapriate.

South of Wilbon Road (the majority of tl�e study area) is Eocated within the Cape Fear
River Basin. The portion of the study area norti� of Wil�on Road is iocated within the
Neuse Ri�er Basin. Riparian �uffers are required by NCDWR for streams in the Neuse
River Basin but not the Cape Fear River Basin. How�ver, the Town's Riparian Buffer
Ordinance ap�lies 50-foot wide riparian buffers direct�y to surface waters in both tne
f�euse River Basin and Cape Fear River Basin, exduding wetlands. Therefore, all streams
in the study area are required to maintain 50-foot wide riparian buffers. The 50-foot
wi�e buffer is comprised of twv zones. Zone �. extends 30 feet landward from the top of
the bank an� this buffer is to remain essentiafly undis�urbed. Zone 2 begins at the end
of Zone �, and extends an additional 20 feet landwar�. zone 2 is to be �egetated, but

Red-cocka�ed waodpecker
Habita� description; The red-cocicaded woodpecker (RCWJ typically occupies open,
mature stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf �ine, for foraging and
nesting/roos�ing habitat. The RCW excavates ca�ities for nesting and roosting in li�ing
pine trees, aged 60 years or older, a�d which are contig�ous with pir�e stands at least 3�
years of age to pro�ide faraging habitat. 7he foraging range of the RCW is normally no
more than 0.5 miles.
Biofogical Conclusion: No Effect. Suitable habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker does
not exist in the study area. Forests in the study area are comprised of a closed
hardwood canopy and sub-canopy. The smalf stands af pine forest in the project area
are cornprFsed of young pines in early successiona] comrnunities, and are not of
s�fficient age to support red-cockaded woodpecker. Therefare, a half-mile survey was
not canducted. A re�iew of NCNHP recards, updated April 2014, indicates no knawn
RCW occurrence within �..D mife of the study area.
Dwarf wedgemussel
Habitat descriptia�: In North Carolina, the dwarf wedgemussel is known from the Neuse
and 7ar River drainage5. The mus5el inhabits creek and river areas with a slow ta
moderate current and sand, gravel, or firm silt bottoms. Water in these areas must be
well oxygenated. 5tream banks in these areas are generally stable with extensive root
systems holding soils in place.
8iological Conclusion: No Effect. Suitabfe habitat for dwarf wedgemussel does not exist
in the study area, Aquatic cammunities witf�in the stu�y area are comprised of slow to
moderate flowing streams with loose silt bottoms and organic debris. Banks are fow
with minimal root systems in place, and streams freque�tly braid and reconcentrate
throug�out the bottomland areas in #he site. Additional�y, all of the stream features
within the study area are located within the Ca�e Fear River Basin, which dQes not
contain any known populations of dwarf wedgemussel. A re�iew of NCf�NP records,
updated Aprif 2014, indicates no [cnown occurrences of dwarf wedgemussel within 1,0
mile of the study area.
Michaux's sumac
liabitat d�scription: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the �nner Coastal Piain and lower
Piedmont, grows in sandy or rocky, apen, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral,
well-draine� sands or sandy loam soils with Eow cation exchange capacities. The species
is also foun� on sandy or submesic faamy swal�s and depressions in the fall [ine
Sandhilfs region as well as in apenings along the rim of Ca�olina bays; maintained

abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood
canopies; and in and along edges of other artific�ally maintained clearings undergaing
natural succession. In the central Piedmont, ii occurs or� clayey soils derived from mafic
rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, graws best wf�ere disturbance (e.g.,
mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic firej rnaintains its open habitat.
Biolo�ical Conclusion: No Effect. Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is present in the
study area along roadside shoulders, utility easements, and agricultural field edges.
Sur�eys were conducted by KHA staff biologists ti�roughaut areas of suitable habitat on
July 2, 2013. No individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed. A review of NCNHP
records, updated April 2014, indicates no know� occurrences wifihin 1.0 mile af the
study area.
bJ Bald and Galden E'agle Pro#ection Ac#
The bald eagEe has been delisted as of August 2007. The bafd eagle is not subject to
Section 7 consultation and a biolagical conclusion is not required. However, the bald
eag�e remains protected �y the Bald and Gold Eagfe Protection Act. Nabitat for the bald
eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of open water for
foraging. l.arge dominant trees are utilized for nesting 5ites, typically within 1.Q mile of
open water.
A desktop-G15 assessrr�ent of the project study area, as wel! as the area within a
1.13-rnile radius �1.0 mile plus 660 fee�) of the project limits, was perFormed on
�ebruary 26, 20�.3 using 2010 color aerials. No water bodies large enough or s�fficientiy
open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified. 5ince there was no
foraging habitat within the re�iew area, a sur�ey of the project study area and the area
wi�hin 660 feet of the project limits was not conducted. Additionally, a review of ti�e
NCf�HP da�abase, updated April 2014, revealed no known occurrences of this species
within 2.0 miles of the project study area. Due to the lack of habitat, �Cnown
occurrences, and rrtinimal impact anticipated for this project, a biological conclusion of
"No Effect" was rendere� for this species.

1. Historic Architectural Resources
An architectural sur�ey was perforrr�ed in January 2014, which concluded that two
resources (both part of the Tobacco Growers' warehouses near NC 42J were
recommended for intensi�e study to determine if �hey are eligible farthe NRHP. !n a
letter dated February 6, 20�.4 {included in A�pendix AJ, the State Histaric Preservatia�
Office (SHPO) requested an Nistoric 5tructures Sur�ey Report to e�aluate the two sites,
which was completed and appraved an May 23, 20Z4. Based on the findings of that
repart, SHPD concurred that the Brown Tobacco Redrying and Storage Facility in the
narthwest quadrant of Bridge Street and the railroad (shown on Figure 9J is eligible for
listing on the NRHP, and that all of the a[ternati�es ha�e "no effect" on this property. A
lette� of cancurrence is in Appendix A.
Z. Archaevlo�ical Resources
A memo from SHPO (April 16, 2013, included in Appendix Aj noted that there are no
recorded archa�ologicaE 5ites locate� within the praject s�udy area, but there is a
rnoderate probability for the presence of �oth Native Am�ricar� and historic period

E. Farmland
The Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requires all federal agencies or their
representatives to consider the impact of ]and acquisition and construction projects on
prime and important farmland soils and to minimize the impact of �ederal programs, or
projecis completed with the a5s�stance of a Federal agency, have on the unnecessary
and irreversible conversion of farmland (directly or indirectiy) to nan-agricultural uses.
�Vorth Carolina �xecutive Order Number 96 requires all state agencies ta consider the
impact of land acquisition and construction projects on prime farmland soifs and to
ensure that actions of 5tate agencies under the jurisdiction of the Governor wi[I
minimize the loss af prime agricultural and forest lands, as designated by the U5 Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
A preliminary screening of farmland con�ersion impacts was compfeted as part of the
Communifylmpaci�Assessment (January Z014). 5ince the prelir�inary screening resulted
in a total score of 77 out of 160 points for all three proposed aliernatives which exceeds
the 60-point threshald established by NRCS, the full NRCS form was compfeted for the
detailed study alternatives. The NRCS CPA-106 form (Appen�ix C) resulted in a total
point �alue of 6etween 12Z and 129. Sinte the f�alf IVRCS form did not exceed the 160-
point threshold for any of the detaifed study alternati�es, na mitigation is necessary.

not considered a relocation.
�he relocation reports are in Appendix E.
3. Environmental justice
While minority and law-income populations are present in the vicinity of the project,
there are only a few indi�icival minority and !aw-income residents lacated alang the NW
Judd Parkway carridor. No notab[y adverse community irnpacts are anticipated wit� this
project; thus, impacts to minori�y and low-income popuiatior�s do not appear to be
dispraportionately 1�ig� and adverse. Benefits and burdens resultEng from t�e project
are anticipated to be eq�itably distributed thraughout the community.
As �art of the 7own's appro�ed Municipal and Crossing Cfosure Agreement with I�orfolk
Southern and NCDOT, the Coley Farm Road and Dogwaod Street/Lawrence Street
crossings will be closed to �ehicles. 7o mitigate the impact to adjacent minority and low-
- income residents, tf�e Town will canstruct a new pedestrian crossing at the Dogwaod
Street/Lawrence Street location, and also will pave 5outhern Street. The pedestrian
crossing and Southern Street Empro�ements w�ll be made by the Town separately from
the NW Judd Parkway project.
Census data indicates a notable presence of low income populations meeting the
criteria for Environmental lustice within the �icinity, and low income communities were
observed within and adjacent to the study area during the site visit. Just outside the
study area, Section 8 ho�sing is lotated on NC �2 near the south terrninus and in the
Fairfield neighborhood near the north terminus. Within the study area, the Lenzie
Heights neighborhoad, a small group of houses that will [ikely be impacted by the
project, may be low income based on field observation. Neighborhoods are shown on
Figure 9, and more detail o� the socioeconomic characteristics of the area is in the
CommunitylmpactAssessment. ihe relocation report (Appendix E) indicates that of the
fi�e potential residential relocations, one is owned by a minority citizen. No minority
employees are anticipated to be impacted by business relocations.
Ce�sus data does not indicate a notable �rese�ce of minarity populatians meeting the
criteria for Environm�ntal Justice within the vicinity. However, Town staff has noted that
the neighborhoods east of the study area camprise the largest concentration of rr�inority
families in Fuquay-Varina, and is primarily BIacEC residents with some Hispanic. To ensure
full and fair participation, additional natificatian of the public meeting was posted in the
Aine Acres Community Center, which is in th� neignborhoods east of the stu�y area.
4. Recreational Facilities
None of the alternatives w�ll affect existing recreational facilities. Parks near the pro3ect
(outside of the study area} are show� in the lndirect and Cumulative E'ffects Report
(January 2014).

5. Other Public Facilities and Services
There will not be impacts to any other public facilities or services. This project will
impro�e access to Lincaln Heights E[emen�ary School, which is adjacent to the east side
of the study area. Curren#ly, the schooi is accessed from Wilbor� Road via 8ridge 5treet,
or from NC 42 via Bridge Street. Input from Wake County Public Schoof System �WCPSS)
�ndicates that this project will ha�e a positive effect an school transportation. WCPSS
staff requested that the �Fown also improve the exEsting section of Washington 5treet
and the Bridge 5�reet/Washington Street intersection, which wilf be cansidered as
future projects.
Realigning Bridge Street wEll not affect access to Miracle 7emple Pentecostal Apostolic
Faith Churc�, which is an Bridge Street south of Wilbon Road. These facilities are shown
on Figure 9.
G, Econamic Ef�'ects
As listed in Section V.�.2, al� three alternatives would relocate three businesses. In
addition, there are two busin�sses fhat may be impacted, as shown on Figure 9:
• The Tobacco Growers Ser�ices Inc.: The Tobacco Growers owns property
north af Wilbon Road (which is currently unde�eloped) and south of Wil�on
Road (which is the locatior� of �.4 warehouses). �Vane af the �etailed study
alternatives are anticipated to directly impact the warehouses. Driveways to
the property will be maintained. Aiternatives 2 and 7 would shift #he existing
roadway io the north side of the Tabacco Growers properties.
• Vaughan's Produce Farm: Alternative 2 would impact a portion of the
irrigation pond, and Aiternative 3 would impact the fields directly. All
alternatives wifl likely impact active farrnEand adjaeent to the s�rawberry
fields.
There are no other direct impacts or changes in access to existing businesses. This
project is anticipated to result in a slight increase in traffic on NE �udd Parkway when it
is connected with N W Judd Parkway, which may posiiively affect businesses in tF�at
seciion. The praject also will increase expasure to propertie5 aiong the new portion of
the prapased NW Judd Parkway, and development is likely to occur more quickly in this
area with the project than if the road is not buift. However, thfs project is not
anticipated to create a new transportation or land use node. Continued grawth is
expected in the NC 42 and NC 55 areas with or withoui the pro�ect.
H. Land Use
�. Existing Land Use and Zoning
Zoning regulations within the area are implemented by �he Town of Fuquay-Varina.
Town oi Fuquay-Varina �s curre�tly updating their land de�elopment ordinance. Based
TIP Prpject U-5317 Environmental Assessment
April Z015 1b

or� the current zoning map (December 2011, included in the U-53i7 lndirect and
Cumulative �'ffects Repart), zoning in the vicinity is a combinaiion of the following
districts:
North (along North Broad Street) is prirr�arily a mix of highway commercial,
industrial, and single-family rasidential.
East (east of Broad Street} is residential-agricultural and single-family residential,
with SeCtions of downtown fringe commercial and light industrial along N. Mair�
Street.
Sauth (south of W. A�acEemy StreetJ transitions from residentia]-agricultural on the
outskirts of the Fuquay-Varina extraterritorial �urisdiction (E7J) to single- and multi-
fiamily residential on the edge of the municipal boundary, interspersed with
office/institutional and neighborhood commercial along S. Main Street and
downtown.
West (west of Bridge Street) is primarily residential-agriculturaf, with some sections
of single- and multi-family residential toward W. Academy Street.
2. �uture �.and Use
Tt�e Fuquay-Varina Comprehensive Land Use Flan �and use map (revised July 201Q,
included in the U-5317 lndirect and Cumulatrve Effects Report) assumes tne NW Judd
Parkway wili be built. It predicts primarily a combination of high-density and medjum-
density residential in the area that is currently farmland along the corridor. Within the
rest of'the area around the corridor, land uses are anticipated to be primarily faw-
densiiy residentiai on the west; medium-density residential, commercial, and industrial
on the north; and mediurn-density residential on the northeast. According to local staff,
changes in land use would likeiy occur if NW ludd Parkway were not constructed,
although the time frame for developmen� would be longer.
3, Project compatihility with local �lans
ihis project is compatible with all local land use and transportation plans, which assume
that NW Judd Parkway is built as a four-lane roadway between NC 55/f�W Judd Parkway
and NC �42/SW Judd Parkway.
�. Indixect and Cumulative Effects
An Indirect and Cumulative Effect (iCE) screenir�g was completed in lanuary 2014.
lndirect and cumulati�e effects were considered for the time period between now and
2030, which is the horizon date of �he Fuquay-Varina Community Transportation Plan
(September 2006J. In acldition, the CAMP� Lang Range Transportation Plan has a
horizon date of 2Q35, and the Research Triangle Region 2040 Metropolitan
Transportation Plan {Apr�l 2d13) has a harizon date of 204Q.

1. Indirect Effects
Indirect effects are eharacterized by tho5e changes in land u5e related to the pro�osed
project but not direct�y caused by the projec�. Constructian of this project is expected to
have a minor indirect effect or� land use decisians in the vicinity.
�'his project will change access to several roads, including creating new intersectians on
NW Judd Parkway at Coley Farm Road, Was�ington Street, and Wilbon Road. Bridge
Street will be realigned io ir�tersect with NW ludd Parkway at the same ]ocation as
Three Meadows Road. These changes, which are part of all three detailed study
alternatives, are shown on Figures 3B #hrough 3D. This project is anticipated to reduce
tra�el time approximately 25%, from 5.5 minutes to 4 minutes between NC 42 and NC
55.
Growth in the vicinity is anticipated regardless of construction of NW Judd Parkway,
althaugh devefopment along the corridor itself may occur more quicicly if the road is
built. Continued growth is expected in the rest of the vicinity with or without the
project. Water and sewer ser�ices are generally available within the �icinity, altho�gh
the edge of the Town's sewer service area is just west of the study area, and local staff
expect that the lack af sewer facifities wilf likely limit development further ta the west.
2. Cumulative EfFects
Cumufative effects represent the total anticipated direct and indirect effects resulting
from the project, in addition to #hose effects by ather projects in tF�e vicinity.
Trar�sportation Projects. 7hree othertranspvrtation projects in the area are �isted on
funded transportatian plans. NCDOT is studying Project R-2609, the US 40�. Corridor
Study, a proposed regional connector on new and existing location. The Complete 540
projeci (Projects R-2721, R-2828, R-2829j would extend the Tr�angfe Expres5way from
the NC 55 Bypass in Apex to the US 64/US 264 Bypass in Knightda le. Right-af-way
acquisition and construction are not currently scheduled for either project.
The CAMPO 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan lists the Western Bypass (Praject
A511], which will widen existing Piney Grove-Wilbon Road west of the U-5�17 study
area to four lanes. It is listed in air auality conformity year 2040.
Residential and Cammercial De�elopment Projects. In the project �icinity, several
residential devefopments are under construction or have recentEy been completed.
Most de�elopment5 are in southwest Fuquay-Varina, many of which are along the SW
Judd Parkway corridor. Gray's Creek, a new subdivision wiih 298 approved units, is
under construction immediately west af the �ropased NW ludd Parkway, but the new
subdivisian will not connect directly wit� NW �udd Parkway.
Conclusion. Curnulatively, this project and other pfanned iransportation improvements
are expected to enhance mobility and imprave travel time locally and regionally. Local
TIP Project U-5317 Environmental Assessment
April 2015 18

planners expect that the proposed project will have aniy a slight impaci on the level or
pace of cte�elopment.
Recent and c�rrent development in the �icinity has primarily been concentrated near
the southern and narthern project termini. If the NW Judd Parkway is built, some
additional de�elopment may occur along the corridor between those areas. Howe�er,
growth in the area is expected with or without the project.
Water and sewer are generally availab�e within the �icinity of the project. The western
I�oundary of the Town's extrat2rritorial jurisdiction is approximately tF�e edge of the
Town's sewer capacity. �.ocaf staff expects that lack of sewer facilities will likely limit
de�elopment further west, but the Town does not ha�e current plans to expand services
within the remaining areas.
Direct natural en�ironmental impacts by NC�OT projects will be addressed by
avoidance, minimization, or mitigation, cor�sistent with pragrammatic agreerr7ents with
the natural resource agencies during t�e Merger and Permitting processes. All
cfevelopments wEll E�e rer�uired to follow local, state, and federal guidelines and
permitting regulations.
]. FIoodplain/Floodway Impacts
No strear-ns in the project study area are located on Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FL�MAJ regulated streams. Therefore, there will be na impacts to regulated
floodplains orffoodways.
K. Traffic Noise Analysis
1. Introduction
This analysis is consisten# with Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations Part 772, Procedures
forAba#ement of HighwayTraffic Noise and Construction Noise (Title 23 CFR 77Z) and
the NCQOT Traff�c Noise Abatement Policy (July 13, 201�.). In accardance with these
�olicies and procedures, Type ! highway projects must be analyzed for pr�dicted traffic
noise impacts. �n generaf, iype I projects are proposed Federal or Federal-aid highway
projects far construction of a highway or intertf�ange on new focatian, impra�ements af
an existing highway that substantialiy changes the horizontal ar verticaf alignment or
increases the vehicfe capacity, or projects ti�at involve �ew construction or substantial
alteration of trans�ortation facilities such as weigh stations, rest stops, ride-share �ots or
toll plazas.
In accardance with the NCDOTTraffic Noise Analysis and Abatement Man�a�, the FHWA
Traffic Noise Modei� (TNM v.2.5) was used ta preditt existing and future design year
2035 hourly equivalent traffic noise le�els, Leq{h}, for the noise-sensitive receptar
locations in the �icinity af the proposed NW Judd Parkway. This traffic noise report

f�ote; There were no impacted receptors in categories A(lands intended to be serene and quiet}, c(acti�e
sports areas), D(auditoriums, libraries, places of worship, etc.], E(businesses, reskaurants, hotefs, etc.), or
F(agriculture, manufacturing, emergency services, etc.).
3. Traffic Noise Aba.tement Measures
FHWA and �1CDOT require that feasible and reasonab[e noise a�atement measures be
considere� and e�aluated for the benefit af afl impacted build-condi�ion traffic noise
rece�tors. Feasibility and reasonableness are distinct and separate consideratians.
Feasibility is the cansideration as to whether noise abatement measures can be
impl�mented. Reaso,nableness is the consideratian as to whether noise abatement
rneasures should be im�lemented. Per NCDO� Policy, the following traffic noise
abaterr�ent measures may be considered: highway alignment selection, traffic systems
management, buffer zones, noise barriers �earth �erms and noise wallsJ, and noise
insuiatian af Acti�ity Category D land use �acilities.
Hi�hway Ali�nment Selection
For noise a�atement, horizantal alignment selection is primarily a matter af locating the
roadway at a sufficient distance from noise sensitive receptors. Appreciable reductions
in traffic noise transmissians to sensiti�e receptors can be made by adjusting the �erticai
highway alignment and/ar section geometry. For example, fowering a roadway helow
existing grade creates a cut section which could act simElarly to an earth berm,
depending upon the relative focation(s) of noise-sensitive rece�tor(s). Each propased
highway alignment alternative was selected based ar� a minimization of impacts to the
surrounding environment. Alterr�ati�es 2 and 3 have fewer predicted traffic naise
impacts than Alternati�e 7.
Noise Abatement Measures
Passive noise abatement measures are effective because they absorb so�nd energy,
extend the source-to-receptor sound transmission path, or both. Highway sound
barriers are primari[y constructed as earth berms or solid-mass walls adjacent to
limited-access freeways that are in proximity to noise-sensitive land use(sj. On roadway
facilities with direct access far driveways, sound �arriers are typically not feasible
because the openings render the barrier ineffective in impeding the transmission of
traffic noise. Due to the requisite lengths for effectiveness, saund barriers are typically
not ecanomical for isolated or most low-density areas. However, sound barriers may �e
economical �or the benefit of as few as one predicted traffic noise impact if the barrier
can benefit enaugh total receptors — im�acted and non-irr�pacted corr�bined —to meet
applicable reasonableness criteria.
Consideration for noise abatement measures was gi�en ta all im�acted r�ceptors in the
'Future build case. �Voise abatement measures were determined to be preliminarily
feasib3e and reasonable in two locations. For the remaining impacted receptars,
abatement was determined not to be feasible due to site access constraints where the
TIP Project U-5317 Environmental AssessrnenY
April 2015 22

driveways of each property and other side streets were locate� such that a noise barrier
would not be abEe to be constructed to adequately provide the required abatement.
Noise 5tudyArea A inc�udes residences in the Windsor Point Retirement Community.
Preliminary feasibfe and reasonable noise abaternent here consists of a noise �arrier
approximately 750 feet long. The current brick wall in this location has gaps irt it that
prevent it fram f�nctioning as a noise barrier. 1f these gaps are removed, the need for a
new noise wall may �e eliminated. Noise abatement in Noise Study Area A is proposed
for al] three of the detailed study alternati�es. Noise StudyArea E includes residences
alang Coefield Street, which intersects with Longfellow S#reet near the proposed �]W
ludd Parkway, a�d Lincoln Heights Elerr�entary 5chool. Preliminary feasible and
reasonable noise abatement here consists o� a noise barrier a�proximate[y 1,900 feet
long, and is onfy praposed with Alternative 7.
D�ring final design, both noise study areas will be reviewed in greater detail ta confirm
that they still meet the feasibility and reasanableness criteria specified by NCD�T. Part
of the reasonablen�ss criteria includes soliciting the viewpoints of property owners and
residents o� ali benefited receptors. One owner ballot and one resident ballot wi�l be
solicited for each benefited receptor. Points p�r baElot are weighted En the following
rr�anner:
• 3 points/ballot for benefited front row property owners
a 1 paint/ballat �For all ather benefited property owners
� 1 paint/ballot vote for all residents
Consideration of the noise abatement measure will continue un�ess a simple majority of
all distributed poir�ts are return�d that in�icates the balloted voters do not want the
abatement measure.
L. Air QuaIity Analysis
Intrac�uctian
Air pol[ution originates fram �arious sources. �missions from indusiry and internal
combustion engines are the most pre�alent sources. The impact resulting from hig�way
construction ranges from intensi�ying existing air pol[ution problems to improving the
arnbient air quality. Changing traffic patterns are a primary concern when determining
the irnpact of a new highway facility or the improvement of an existi�g highway facility.
Th� Federal Clean Air Act of 1970 established the Nationa! Ambient Air Quaiity
Standards (NAAQS). These standards were established to protect the public from known
or anticipated effects of air pollutants. The most recent amer�dments ta the NAAQS
contain criterfa for sulfur dioxide (SOZ), par�iculate mat#er (PMJ, carbon monoxide (CO},
nit�ogen dioxide (NOZ), ozone (03}; and fead (Pb}.
The pri�nary pollutants fram rnotar�ehicles are unburned hydrocarbons, nitraus oxides,
carbon monoxide, and particulates. Hydrocarbons and nitrogen axides can combine in a
TIP Project U-5317 �nvironrnental Assessment
April 2a15 Z3

complex series of reactions catalyzed by sunlight to produce photochemical oxidants
suc� as ozone and NOz. Because these reactions take place o�er a p�riod of several
hours, maximum concentrations of photochemical oxidants are often found far
downwind of the precursor so�rces.
Project-level air quality analyses were prepared for this project. A copy of the
una�ridged version of the fiull technical report entitled ArrQualityAnalysis (Micrascale
Carbon Manoxide and Mobile Source Air Toxics), date� January 2014, can be �iewed at
the Project Devefopment and En�ironmental Analysis fJnit, Cent�ry Center Building A,
1000 Birch Ridge Drive, Raleigh.
Attainment Status
The project is located in Wake County, which is within the Raleigh-Durham maintenance
area for carbon monoxide (CO) as defined by the EPA. The Raleigh-Durham area was
redesignated for CO on September 18, �.995 and due to impro�ed manitoring da�a was
�laced under a limited maintenance plan (conformity is required wi�i�out a regiona!
emissions analysisj on July 22, 2013. The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area was
�esignated maintenance for 03 under the eight-hour standard on December 26, zaa�.
Howe�er, under the 2008 8-hour ozone standards released in Aprif 2012, �his area is
now in attainment for this criteria po�lutant. Section 176(c) of the CAAA requires that
trans�ortation plans, programs, and projects canfarm to the ir�t�nt of the state air
quaiity implementation pfan {SIPj. The current 51P does not contain any transportatian
control measures for Wake County.
The Capital Area MetrapolEtan Planning Or�anization 2040 Long Range 7'ransportatron
Plan (LRTP) and the 2012-2018 Trans�ortation Improvement Pragram (TIP) conform to
t�e intent of the SlP. The USDQT made a conformity determination on the LRTP on June
14, 2013 and the TIP an July 1, 2014. The current conformity determination is consistent
with the final conforrr�ity rule found in 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93. There are no significant
changes in the project's design concept or scope, as used in the confarmity anafyses.
Carbon Monoxide Microscale Analysis
Because the project is located within the Raleigh-Durham maintenanc� area for car�on
monoxide (CO), a microscale air quairty analysis was performed to determine future CO
concentrations resulting from the proposed highway im�rovements. "CAL�QHC — A
Modeling Methodo[ogy for Predicting Pollutant Concentrations near Roadway
Intersections" was used ta predict the CO concentration near sensitive receptors.
Carbon monoxide vehicle emission factors were calculated far the years 2020, 2025, and
2035 using EPA's MOVE52010b mobile source emissions computer model. Consultation
with the f�CDENR Air QuaEity Section indica�ed that an ambient CO concentration of
2.9ppm is suitable for calculations in Wake Caunty.
The worst-case air quality scenario was determined ta be at the interSEction of NC 5� at
NW Judd Parkway/NE ludd Parkway in the AM peak haur. 7he predicted 1-hour and S-

For each alternative in this EA, the amount of MSAT emitted would be proportianai to
the �ehicle miles tra�eled, or VMT, assuming that other variables such as fleet mix are
the same for each alternati�e. Because the estimated VMT under the Nv Build
Alternati�e and Build Alternati�es are nearly the 5ame, varying by only 600 vehicle-mi�es
traveled, it is expected there wauld be no appreciable difference in overaEl MSAT
emissions among the variaus alternati�es. Refer to TabEe 16. Also, regardless of the
alt�rnative chosen, emissions will likely be lower than present levels in the design year
as a result af EPA's national control pragrams that are projected ta reduce annual MSAT
emissions by over 8fl percent from 2010 to 2050. Local conditions may differ from t�ese
nationai projections ir� terms of fleet mix and turno�er, VMT grawth rates, and local
control measures. Hawe�er, the magnitude of the EPA-projected reductions is so great
(even af�Qr accounting far VMT growth) that MSAi emissions in tY�e study area are like[y
to be iawer in the future in virtually all locations.

Under each alternati�e there may be lacalized areas where VMTwould increase, and
other areas where VMT would decrease. Therefore, it is possible that localized increases
and decreases in MSAT emissions may occur. The localized increases in M5AT emissions
woul� likely be most pronounced along the new roadway sections that would be �uilt
TIP Project U-5317 Environmental Assessrnent
April 2015 25

fram NC 52 to i�C 55 under each of the Build Alternati�es. Wowever, even if these
increases do occur, they too will be substantially reduced in �he fut�re due to
implementation of EPA's vehicle and fuel regulations.
[n sum, under al! Build Alternati�es in the design year it is expected that there would be
reduced MSAT emissions in the immediate area of the project, relati�e to the No Build
Alternative, due to the reduced VMT associated with rnore direct routing, and due to
EPA's MSAT reduction programs.
lncomplete or Unavailable lnformation for Project-Specific MSAT Heal�h lmpacts Analysrs
In �HWA's view, information is incomplete or una�ai�able to credibly predict the praject-
specific health impacts due to changes in MSA� emissions associated with a proposed
set of highway alternative5. The outcome af wch an assessrnen�, ad�erse or not, would
be influenced more by the uncertainty introduced into the process thraugh assumption
and speculation rather than any genuine insight into the actual health impacts directly
attributable to MSAT exposure assaciated with a proposed action.
The U.S. En�ironmer�tal Frotection Agency (EPA) is responsibEe for protecting the public
health ar�d welfare from any known or anticipated effect of an air pol[utant. They are
ti�e lead authority for administering the Clean Air Act and its amendment5 and ha�e
specific statutory obligations with respect to hazardous air pollutants and MSAT. The
EPA is in the continual �rocess of assessing human health effects, exposures, and risks
pased by air pollutants. They maintain the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS),
which is "a compilation of efectronic reports an spec�fic substances found in the
environment and their potential ta cause human health effects° (�PA,
http://www.epa.go�/iris/}. Each report contains assessments of non-cancerous and
cancerous effects for indi�idual compounds, and quantitative estimates of risk levels
fram lifetime oral and inhafation exposures with uncertainty spanning perhaps an arder
of magnitude.
Oiher organizations are also acti�e in the research and analyses of the �t�man health
effecfs of MSAT, including the Health Effects Insii�ute �HEI). Two H�I st�dies are
summarized in Appendix D of FHWA's Interim Guidance Update an Mobile source Air
Toxic Analysis in NEPA Documents. Among the ad�erse health effects linked to MSAT
campounds at high exposures are; cancer in humans in occupational settings; cancer in
animals; and irritation io the respiratory tract, incEuding the exacerbation of asthrna.
Less ob�ious is the ad�erse human health effects of MSAT compounds at current
en�ironmental concentrations (HEI, http://pubs.healtheffects.org/�iew.php?id=282) or
in the future as vehicfe emissions substantially decrease {HEI,
http://pubs. healtheffects.org/view. php?id�306).
The methodologies far forecasting health impacts include emissions modeling;
dispersion modeling; exposure modeling; and then final determination of health impact5
- each step in the �racess building on the model predictions obtained in the previous
step. All are encumbered by technical shortcomings ar uncertain science that prevents a
TIP Project U-5317 Environmentaf Assessment
April 2a15 �&

more compl�te differentiation of the MSAT health irr-�pacts amo�g a set of project
alternatives. These cfifficulties are magnified for lifetime (i.e., i0 yearj assessments,
particularly because unsupportable assumptions would ha�e to be made regarding
changes in trave� patterns and vehicle technology �which affects emissions ratesJ o�er
that time frame, since such information is una�ailable.
It is particularly difficult to reliably forecast 70-year lifetime M5A7 concentrations and
exposure near roadways; to deterrr�ine the partion of time that people are actually
exposed at a specEfic location; and to establish the extent attributable to a prapased
action, especially given that some af the information neede� is unavaiiaE�le.
There are considerable uncertainties associated with the existing estimates af toxicity of
ihe various MSAT, because of factors such as [ow-dose extrapolation and translation of
occupational exposure data �o the general population, a concern expressed by H�I
(http://pubs.healtheffects.org/view.php?id=282J. As a result, there is no national
consen5us on air dose-response �alues assumed ta protect tf�e public health and
weffare for MSAT compounds, and in particularfar diesel PM. 7he EPA
(http://www.epa.gov/risk/basicinformation.htm#g} and the HEI
(http://pubs.heal�heffects.org/get�ile.php?u=395) have not established a basis for
quantitative risk assessr�ent o� diesel PM in ambient se�tings.
There is afso the lack of a national consensus on an acceptable fevel of risk. ihe current
context is the process used by the EPA as provided by the Clean Air Act to determine
whether more stringent controls are required in order to pro�ide an ample margin of
safety to protect public health or to pre�ent an ad�erse environmental effect for
industrial sources subject to the maximum achie�able control t�chnology standards,
such as benzene emissions fro�n refineries. The dec9sian framework is a two-step
process. The first step requires �PA to determine an "acceptable" level of risk due to
emissions from a source, which is generally no greater than approximately 100 in a
million. Additional factors are considered in the second siep, the goal of which is to
maximize the number of people with risks �ess than � in a milfion due to emissions frorn
a source. The results of this statutory two-step process do not guarantee that cancer
risks from exposure to air toxics are less tY�an � in a millian; in some cases, the residual
risk determination could result in maximum indi�idua! cancer risks that are as hig� as
approximately 100 in a miElion. 1n a�une 2008 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
bistrict of Columbia Circuit upheld EPA's approach to addres5ing risk in its two step
decisian framework. Infarmation is incample�e or unavailable to establish that even the
largest of highway projects would result ir� levels of risk greater than deemed
acceptahle.
Because af the [imitations in the methodologies for forecasting health impacts
described, any predicted difference in healt� impacts between alternatives is likely to be
muc� smaller than the uncertainties assaciated with predicting the irrzpacts.
Consequentfy, the results of such assessments would not be usefu! to decision makers,
who would need to weigh this information against pro�ect benefits, such as reducing

traffic congestion, accident rates, and fatalities plus impro�ed access for emergency
response, that are better suited for quantitative analysis.
M. Hazardous Material
A Hazardous Materials Scree�ing Report is underway. Based an the initial resu�ts of this
limited screening, eight potentialiy hazardous rriaterial sites were identified in the study
area. Of these, three are considered to be recognized en�ironmental conditions (RECs),
which are defined as "the presence or likely presence af any hazardaus substance or
petraleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a
past relea5e, or a materiai threat of a release of any �tazardous substances or petroleum
products into siructures on the property or into the ground, ground water, or surface
water af the property."
The (FormerJ Green 5eed Cornpany changed ownership in 2005, and has since
been used as a garage door business and a warehouse for general storage. A
diesel fuel �ischarge occurred at this facility on February 7, 1990 resuiting in soil
contar�ination but no graundwater contamination was detected. A close out
report was submitted to the Staie in May �.990 and the incident is now closed.
Several unlabeled steel and plastic drums were obser�ed outside of the existing
wefding shop. Most of these drum5 appeared to be empty but there was no
record in the EDR report of this facility being permitted for hazardous waste
siorage. Because of the contents and usage of the materia�s in the unlabeled
drums, this facility is considered to be assvciated with a REC.
The building owned �y Ashworth Oil and Gas Company in the study corridor is
currently used as a storage warehouse for tires. There are �o records in the EbR
database that this facility generates or stores hazardous materials; however,
because af this facility's ownership by and oil and gas company and due to the
fact that all three study alternati�es wiEl impact this property, this site is
considered a potentiaE REC relative to the project.
The building at 702 W. Acaderny Street (shown on Figure 9J is currently occupied
by Zoladz Construction Com�any. This property used to be occupied by Caro{ina
Collision Center of NC, Inc. Severa] above ground diesel fuel tanks were obser�ed
on the property during field reconnaissance, but there is no documentation of
registere� fuel tanks with this facility. Because there are na database records for
this praperty and due to the past history of the site as an automotive repair
facility, this site is considered a patent�a! REC.
To determine a conclusion o� the likelihaod of these sites ha�ing hazardous materials,
and to determine the impact of the project on the sites, the folfowing actions are
currently underway:
• Numerous tractors, pesticide/herbicide sprayers and other agricultural
equipment were observed within the project study area associated with the
residential homes and barns along the south side of Wilbon Road. ihe property

owner will be contacted to determine if there are any underground or above
graund fuel storage tanks or ot�er chemical storages on the property that may
not be registered and therefare, would no# be listed in the E�R database. In
conjunction wit� the interview, a more detaileci field evaluation of the property
within the proposed right-of-way will be conducted with the property owner to
discuss past and c�rrent agricultural operations on the praperty.
A�thaugh the databa5e does not have current records for any contamination
issues on the former Green Seed Company property, due to past incidences and
current housekeeping practices outside af �he facility, the property owner will be
contacted to get more detailed inforrr�ation regarding the properties awnership
transitions and the property uses associated with these various owners. fn
addition, a more detailed field evaluation of �he property, including access to the
welding and repair building is recommended.
o At the Zoladz Construction Company site, three above ground fuel tanks were
-- ahserved; however, no registered fuel tanks were note� in the EDR repart for
this facility. The property owner/manager will be contacted ta con�irm the
ownership and usage of the property and also to discuss the �uel tanks and
potential other hazardous materials that may �e utiiized at the facility.
• PortabEe toilets ar�d trucks were abserved stared in the Fore�er Clean Portable
Toilets yard. The property owner will he contacted to discuss whether or not
chemica[s are prepared/stored on this site and if/how waste is transferred at this
facility.
• The buildir�g owned �y Ashworth Dil and Gas Company was closed at the tim� of
KHA's field reconnaissance. The property awne�- wiil be contacted to determine
the current usage and status o�this facility.
VI. C�MMENTS AND COORDINATION
A pubiic invol�ement program is part af this project and has included the falfawing
efforts:
• No�ding a pubfic informatianal meeting, which was advertised thraugi� direct
mail and iocal newspa�ers
� Mailing a newsletter to property owners in the praject �icinity to provide
information on the status of the praject
* Creating and updatingthe mailing list of community contacts to include pubfic
rneeting attendees and interested citizens
• Responding consistently to citizens' requests far information

A. Public Informaiional Mee�ing
A public meeting was held on No�ember 15, 2013 from 4-7 p.m. at the Fuquay-Varina
1"own Hall. �'he meeting was ad�ertised through a direct mailing and a pu�lic notice in
the local newspapers. It was an inforr-nal-styie open house, and a presentation was nat
gi�en. A map showing all seven alternatives was displayed, ar�d detailed design maps of
Alternatives 2, 3, and 7 were available for �iewing.
Forty twa citizens signed in at the meeting, and 15 returned written comments. Of the
11 citizens who expressed a preference, one preferred Alternative 2, two preferred
A[ternati�e 3, and eight preferred Alternative 7. Other comments incl�ded one concern
about the speed of �ehicles, two about sound abaiement, and two supporting limited
driveways on [�W Judd �arkway. These comments were taken into account during the
design revision process. One citizen expressed concern that this project would increase
response times far emergency �ehicles because it would divide Coley Farm Road into
two sections. Based on conversations with the Town's Fire Chief, there are no Iong terrn
car�cerns about emergency res�onse access or respanse time, and short term delays are
not a concern as �ong as either Co1ey Farm Road or Wilbon Road is open at all times
during constructian.
B. Pub��c Hearing
A public hearing wili be held after the En�ironmental Assessment has �een approved.
C. NEPA/404 Merger Process
In an effort to streamline the environmental planning and permitting process, NCDOT,
FHWA, and USACE deve[oped an interagency agreement integrating the environmental
impact assessment requirements of NEPA and t�e USACE Section 404 permitting
process. This process is known as the NEPA/404 Merger Process.
The NE�A/404 Merger Process was designed to appEy to new location projects and other
projects that would IiEcely require an individual permit under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act �CWA). At t�e beginning o� each project, NCQ�i initfates a screening process
to determine the applicability of the NEPA/404 Merger Process for that project.
Given the amount of stream and wetland impacts and t�e potential impact to historic
r�sources, it was determined by NCDOT, FHWA, USACE, and NCDWR that this project
would follow the N�PA/4a4 Merger Process.
Concurrence Points are defining points in the Section �404/NEPA Merger Process.
Concurrence imp�ies that project tearr� members and the agencies they represent agree
ta decisians made at these defining points in the project developrr7ent pracess and in
doing so ple�ge to abide by the decision made unless there is a substantial ehanged
condition. Concurrence is sequential and must be achie�ed in the proper order. The
seven concurrence points (CP) in the Merger Process are as follows:

D. Other Agency Coo�dination
A start of 5tudy letter was mailed to agencies on March 21, 2013. Cornments were
recei�ed frorr� those marked with an asterisk (*J:
• US Army Corps of Engineers
� US En�ironmental Protection Agency*
• US Fis� and Wildlife Service
• NC Division of Water Quality*
• NC Di�ision of Marine Fisher�es*
• NC Wildlife Resources Comrr�ission*
• State Historic Preservation Office*
• Capital Area Metrapolitan Planning Organization
• Wake County Schools
The foElowing project-s�ecific comments were provided in the responses to the scoping
letter:
US Enviranmental Protectron Agency
Comment: How does this project relate to Project R-2bQ9 and any future plans for a
Fuquay-Varina a�ter loop?
ftesponse: This project is not redundant with Project R-2G09 or the proposed
Fuquay-Varina Western Bypass �CAMPO Project A511). The purpose of Project U-
5317 is to impro�e roadway IinKage through Fuquay-Varina. Project R-2609 is a
regional �roject whose purpose is to increase the traffic carry capacity, increase
safety, and reduce tra�el time along the US 40� corridar. !n this area, several new
locatian alternatives are under consi�eratian t�at would bypass the Town to th�
south and east. 7he intent of Project A511 is to pro�ide a route that bypasses the
Town to the west. All three projects are shown on Figure 1.
NC bivision of Waier Resources
Comment: Basai Creek is cfass B; N5W waters of the State. NC�WR is very concerned
wit� se�iment and erosion impacts that could result from this project. NCDWR
recommends that highly protecti�e se�irrrent and erosion contro! BMPs be implerr�ented
to re�uce the risk of r�utrient runaff to Basal Creek. NCDWR requests that road design
plans provide treatment af the storm water runoff through BMPs as detailed in the most
recent version of NCDWR's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
Response: 7he Town will implement appropriate sediment and erosion controi Best
Management Practices (BMPsj during construction. The road desigr� plans will
if� Project fJ-5317 Environmenta[ Assessment
April 2015 32

provide treatment for stormwater runoff as detai�ed in the NCDWR Stormwater
Best Management Practices.
Comment: Kenneth Creek is class C, 303(d} impaired waters of the 5tate. iVCDWR is very
concerned with sediment and erosian impacts that cou�d result fror� this praject.
NCaWR recommends that the most protecii�e sediment and erosion contro3 BMPs be
implemented in accardance with Desrgn Standards in Sensitive Wai'ersheds {15A NCAC
04B.012�) to reduce the risk of further impairrr�ent to Kenneth Creek. NCDWR request
that raad design plans pro�ide treatment of the storm water runoff through BMPs as
detaiied in the most recent versian of NCDWR's Stormwater Best Management
Practices.
Response: The portion of Kenne�h Creek t1�at recei�es drainage from the project -�
SIN [18-�6-1-(1)] — is not included on the 2012 Final 303{d) jist of impaired waters.
This project is nat witl�in one mile and draining to any streams with sedirnentation
ar turbidity impairments on the 2012 Finaf 3d3(d) list of impaired waters. Standard
8MP5 for sedimentatian and erasion control will be implemented during
construction, and the road design plans will pro�ide treatment for starmwater
rur�off as detailed in the NCDWR Stormwater Best Management Practices.
Comment: The portian of the study area that drains to U7 Basai Creek is within the
Neuse River Basin. Riparian buffer impacts shall be a�oi�ed and m�nimized to the
greatest extent possible pursuant to 15A NCAC 26.0233. New de�eloprnent acti�ities
[ocated in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas within the basin shall be limited to
"uses" identified within and construc�ed in accordance wit� 15A NCAC 2BA233. Buffer
mitigation may be required for buffer Empacts re5ulting from activities class+fied as
"allowable with mitigation" within the "Table of Us�s" sQction of the Buffer Rules or
require a variance under the Buffer Rules. A buffer mitigation plan, including use of the
IVC Ecosystem Enhancement Program, must be pro�ided to NCDWR prior to approval of
the Water Quality Certification.
Respanse: �his project wifl not directly impact any streams or their riparian buffers
within the Neuse River Basin.
State Hisroric Preservation Office
Comment: There is a moderate probabiiity for presence of archaeological resources.
When a selected afignment is available, it is forwarded to SHPO for evaluation of
potential effects.
Response: The Town will coordinate with 5HP0 regarding potential archaeological
effects after a preferred alternative is 5elected.

Thexe are no xeeorded azchaeological sites located wit�in your st�zdy area, b�zt there is a moderate probability
fox the presence of bot�x I�Tati�cre �rnetican and lustortc pe�iod archaeolo�cal resources. We xecam�iend that
�rhen a selected alignnaezat is ai-ailabl�, it be for�varded to oux office fot our evaluatiora of potential e£fects.
The 1970 Wake Caurrty soi� survey, however, depicts the location of a cemeter�T i.r� the vicinit�� of Alternate 5.
Wliile not Ji_kely to be eligible fax inclusion in the National Register oF Histaric Places, cemeteries are p�otected

The partion of the s3�rac�y area that drains to UT �asal C�reek is within the Neuse Ri�er Basii�. Riparian
buffer impacts s�all be a�oided and minimized to the great�st extent gassible pursuant to 15A NCAC
2$.�233. New developrr�e«t activities located in tl�e �rotacted 5�-faot wide rrparian areas �ithin the
basin shail be li.mited to "uses" identified ��it}�in and constructed in aecordance with 15A NCAC
28.0233}. Buffer mitzgation may be required for huffer impacts resuiting from activities classified as
"a11ov4°able with rnitigation" within the "Table af Uses'� s�ction of the Buffer Ru1es or zequire a
�aria.nce under the Buf.fer Rules. A buffer mitigati�n plan, iztcludEng use of the NC Ecosystem

Certification.
General Frnject Co�xtrnents:
J, Ti�e environznental document s€�ould provide a detailed and itemized preser�tation af the proposed
irr�pacts to �vetlancls and streazns with corresponding mapping, If �nit�gation is neces;azy as
required by 1 �tl NCAC 2F�.a�Ob(h}, it is preferable to present a concepival {if nQt �nalizedj
mitigation plan wifh the environr�tental docu�nentatian. Appropriate mitigation plans will be
req�ired prior to issuance ofa 40I Water Quality Certi�cation.
2. �n��iranmental impact siatement alternatives sha11 eonsider d.esig�� criferia that reduce the impacts to
stream.s and wetla,nds fiom starm ufater runoff. These aiternati��es shall include road designs. that
allow for treatznent af the storm water runofi through best manape�nent practices as detailed in the
most recent versiot� of NCD WQ's �SYorr�zwate�� Be,st Mana¢ement Practices Manua�, .Iuly 2Q07, such
as �'assed swales, buf�er areas, preformed scour holes, retention basins, eic.
After tt�e selection of the prefen-ed alter��ative and prior to arn issua�ca af the 401 ��Vater Quality
Certi�cation, the applicant is respect£ully reminded that they G�iil] need to demonstraie ihe
avoida.nce and minirnization of impacts ta wetlan�s (anci streams} to the �a�cimiim extent practica[.
I�� accordanca �vith the �nvironmental Management Comm'rssion's Rules { l 5A NCAC
2H.0505(h}�, miti�atian wilI 6e r�quired for impacis of greater than 1 acre to w�etlands. In the et=ent
that rrtitigation is required, the mitigatzait plan shail be designed to repIace apprapriaie lost

6. 1`�CDWQ �s very conce�-�-ied with sediment and erosion impacts that cauld result fram this praject.
The a�p�icant shall address these concems by describi�g the pote�itial impacts that may occur �o the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that ti�o�ld reduce t�e impacts.

7. An anaIysis of cn�ulafive and secondary innpacts anticipafed as a result af�his praject is required.
The type and detail of analysis shaIl confarrn to ihe 1tirC Di�ision of �Vater Qvality Policy on the
assessment af secondary and e�mulati�e impacts dated Apri� 10, 2004,
S. The applicant is respectfi.tlly reminded that a.li irr�pacts, including but not lirr►ited to, bridg;ing, fill,
excavaiian and clearing, and rip rap ta jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers need to
be znclt�ded in #he �naf impact ca(cuiations. These impacts, in addition to any constr�.iction izr►pacts,
ternporary ot otherwise, also need ta be included as part of the 4Q 1 Water Quatity Certi�cation
App�ication.
9. Where streams must be crossed, NCDWQ prefers bridges be used ir� lieu of culverts. However, we
�•ealize that economic� considerations oi�en zequire �e use of c�lverts. Please be advised that
ct�i�ve�cts should be countersunk to allow unim.peded passage hy fish and otl�er aquatic organisms.
Moreover, in areas where high qualzty watlands or streazns are iz�npacted, a bridge may pro�e
preferable. When agp[icable, the applfca�at should not instali ��e brid�e benis in the creek, to t�e
inaxirnum extent practicable.
10. Whenever possible, NCD'WQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning struciures usually do �iot
require work within ihe s€�eam or grubbing of the sfreambanks and d.o not rec�uire sE�eam cha►ine�
reali�ent. The horizontal ancf vertica] clearances pro�ided by Uridges shall allow for hu�nan and
wiIdlife passage beneath the struc�rre. Fish passage ancf navigation by carioeis�s and boaters shatI
not be bl�cked, Br�dge supports (bertts) should not be placed in ti�e stream ��rhet� possible.
11. Bridge dec[c drains sha�1 not discharge directly znto the strear�. Siormwa�:er shall be directed acrass
the brfdge and pre-treated tI�'ough site-appropriate mea€�s (girassec� swales, pre-formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers, etc.) beftare Enteri.ng the stream. Piease re£er to the most current version of
NCDVJQ's S'tor��2rs�ater Best M�nagement Prcrcfices.
12. Sedirnent and erosion cont�oI measut�es should �iot be pfaced ir► �vetlaz�ds or streams.
13. Borraw/waste areas shauid a�oid u�ettands to fhe maxunam extent practical. Tinpacts to wetla��ds in
borrowlvraste areas ��ill need to be presented in the 40� Water Quality Certi�cation and could
precipitafe compei�satpry zz►itigation.
14. The 401 Water Quality Certification application wilf z�ead to speoificatly address t�e proposed
zz7eihods for stormwater management. More speci�cally, stormvyater shatl ��ot ba perrriitted to
discharge diractly into strsams or stu-face waters.
15. Based on the it�fornaation pt-esented in the dacument, the magnitude of i�tpacts to wetlands and
sireams ntay require an Indivicival Permit application to the Cozps af Engineers and carresponding
401 Water Qu�Iity Certif�cation. Please be advised that a 401 Water �?uality Certificatio[� requires
satisfactory protection of water quality to �nsure that water quality �Earidards are met.azid no
vvetiand or strea�n uses are last. Final permit at�thQrization wilt require the subinittal of a�oz�naI
appIicat[on b�� the applicant ai�d written concurrence fram I�TCDWQ. 1'lease be a�vare that any
appro�a� will be cont�gent on approp�iata avoidance and minimization of v�fetland and sir�am
impacts to the maximum extent practical, the �evelaprr�ent of an acceptable stormwater
management plan, and the ir�clusion of �ppropriate rnitigation plans where appropriate,
16. If eoncrete is used durirag construction, a d�y rvork area shall be maintained to prevetat direct contact
between curing cozlcrete and streani water. �Vate.r tltat inad�ertently contacts uncured concrete shall

not he discharged to surfaee waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic lifa and
fish Ittlls.
17. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded ta its preconst-ruction
oontours al-�d elevations. Disturhed areas shaiE be seeded oz'tnulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriaEe �3a�ive woody species sha11 be pianted. V��hen using temporary s�ructures the area shall
be c]eared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs; or other
�echanized equiprt�ent and Ieaving t�ae stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-v�getate
�iaturally and minimizes soil disturbance.
18. Unless otherwise authorized, pIace�nent of cuh�er�s a3�d other struct€�res in waters ancf sfiteamsshall
be placed belo��r the elevation of the streambed by one foat for alf culverts vvith a diameter greater
thai� 4$ inches, and 2Q percent of tl�e culvert diameter for cul�verts having a diameter ]ess than 4S
inches, to allow Iow flo�{� passage of water and aqe�atic life. Desi�t and placement of eulverts and
nther str�ctures incIuding ternporary �rosior� co.ntral r�easures shall not be conducted in a manner
that inay result in dis-equilibriu�� of wetlands or streaa�a�ieds or banks, adjace��t to or upstrearn and
dai�t�n streani ofthe abave siructures. Tha applicant is required to provide evidence that the
equilibrium is beiug maintained if rec�uested in writing by I��CDWQ. If this condition is una6le to
i�e znet due ta bedrock or other Iimiting fea€�.u-es encountered d€�riz�g const�vction; please coniact
NCD1�Q for guidance on how ta procead and to determine r��he�er or not a permit modification
will be reqtiired.
19, T.f �n�ftiple pipes or barrels are required, they sha�l be designed to mimic natural stream c�•oss sectiozl
as closely as possible iz�cludiz�g pipes or barre�s at flood p3ain eIet�ation, floodplain benches, andlar
sills may be required where appropt'iaYe, Widening ihe s�'eam channel should be avoided. SEream
channei widening at the inlet or outlet end of str�ctures t��picalIy decreases u�ater �eIociiy causing
sediment deposition tfiat requires increased mainienance and disrupts aquatic Iife Passage.
2Q. If founc�a�ion test borings are necessary; it shall be nc�ted in the documen.t. Geotechn�eal wor�C is
appro��d under Genera] 401 Certifcat�on Number 3687/I�iationwide Permit I�o. 6 f�r S�cvey
Activi�ies.
21. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient io protect water resources must be i�nplemen�ed
and maintained in accardance with the most racent version ofIlTorfh Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Cor�trol Planzting and Design Manual and the mast recent versian of NCSQ00250.
22. Al1 work in or adjacent to strearri waters shalt be conducted in a dry wnrk area, Appro�+ed BMP
rr�easures fiozn the most cur�-eni ��ersion of NCDOT Coaastn�ction and Maintenance Activities
�nanual such as sandbags, zock berzz�.s, co�fi'erdams and other diversion sfructures shalE be used ia
prevent excavation in flov,�zng Water.
23. i�hile the use o�Natiozi�l Wetland In��entor�� (NWI) maps, NC Coastal Region Eualuation of
Wetla.�d �ignificance {NC-CRE��'S) Enaps and soil s�znrev maps are useful tools, their inhere:nt
inaccuracies require that quatified personnel p�rfonn onsite wetland delineations pz-aor to pe�-xx�it
approvaI.
24. Heary equipmieraE should be aperated froin the bank rather than in stream channels in order fo
n�inii��ize sedi�ne�itatioi� and reduce the kike[.ihood of introducing other polluta.nts into streatns. This
equipment sha[i be i��spected daily and maintained to prevent contaminatiort af surface ��aters from
leaking fuels, luhricants, �ydra�lic #�uids, or other toxic materials.

25. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thal��veg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that
precludes aquatic life passage. $ioengineering boulders or st�-uctures shoufd be properIy designed,
sized and installed.
26. Riparian vegetation (native �rees and sh�-ubs) sha!! be preser�ed to the maximum extent possi63e.
Riparian vegetation m�st be reestabIished with� the. construc�ion limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following cornpletion af constructian..
Thank you far requesting our input at ff�is �ime. The applzcant is retninded that issuance of a 40 t Water
Quality Certificatian ret{uires that appropriate measures be instit�ted to ensure that water quality
standarcfs are met and desigriatad uses are not degraded or lost. If yau have any questions or require
additional information, please contact Rob Ridings at 419-847-6403.
