D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Proposed bridge replaced on existing alignment. 3:1 fill slopes will be used in wetland areas. 3:1 slopes are the steepest slopes that can be used due
to sandy soils. No deck drains will be used on the bridge to eliminate direct discharge into the stream. Top down construction will be used. Promotion
of sheet flow and infiltration with the use of grassed shoulders.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Traffic will be maintained via an off-site detour during construction. Top down construction techniques will be utilized to avoid impacting surface
waters. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be utilized during construction to attempt to reduce the stormwater impacts to the receiving streams
due to erosion and runoff.
