Environmental Assessment for this project was approved in October 1998 and was distributed, prior to
implementation of the NCDOT Merger Process The information presented in the Environmental
Assessment is being updated for presentation in the Finding of No Significant Impact The materials listed
below are attached for your reference and are in the following order

R-2612A/B. US 421 Interchange Additions, Pleasant Garden, Guilford County
Revisit of Avoidance & Minimization of Jurisdictional Impacts
Board Room - Transportation Building - Raleigh, NC - April 17, 2008
TIP Description
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to construct two interchanges on
at-grade intersection locations along US 421, south of Greensboro The proposed improvements will
also remove existing at-grade intersections within the project limits R-2612A will construct a diamond
interchange and service road at SR 3389 (Woody Mill Road) R-2612B will construct a half-cloverleaf
interchange at SR 3417 (Neelley Road)
Project History (Review from November 15, 2007)
The environmental assessment was signed in October 1998 Two alternatives were studied for R-
2612A Alternative A-2 was recommended This alternative was an interchange connecting Woody
Mill Road with Company Mill Road, using service roads to connect Hagan-Stone Park Road and
Minden Road to the project Six alternatives were studied for R-2612B Alternative B-3A was
recommended This alternative was a grade separation connecting Neelley Road to Williams Dairy
Road Protect funding was then deferred for several years During that time, additional meetings with
Pleasant Garden officials and residents resulted in a change in the recommended alternative for the
Neelley Road intersection Alternative B-3, a half clover-leaf interchange is now recommended for this
intersection
The NEPA / 404 Merger Process did not exist in 1998, at this stage of the project development Due
to a reversal of local sentiment among the Neelley Road area neighborhoods, an interchange is now
favored instead of a grade separation at this location The following interchange alignment
alternatives are currently recommended by the NCDOT, due to the reduction of residential and
business relocations and to the reduction of environmental impacts During a Merger Discussion
Meeting held on January 22, 2007, representatives from the FHWA, the USACOE and the NCDOT
agreed that the environmental impacts were not enough to include this project in the NEPA/Section
404 Merger Process These representatives also agreed that NCDOT would brief the team members
concerning the potential environmental impacts in order to obtain agency comments and to reach
agreement on the recommended alternatives at the Point 3 and Point 4A stage of project
development USEPA and FHWA request that agreement forms be signed during this meeting
1 Revisit Meeting Purpose
The purpose of this meeting is to revisit the avoidance and minimization measures in the
areas visited during our field meeting in Pleasant Garden on January 16, 2008 These areas were the
proposed stream realignment of Stream 2 in R-2612A and the interchange impacts in Quadrant D of
R-2612B Since our field meeting, Ramp A and the realignment of Stream 2 in R-2612A have been
abandoned by the Hydraulics Unit A loop replacing Ramp A has been added in Quadrant B Loop D
in R-2612B has been redesigned to lessen wetland fragmentation The resulting impacts are shown in
the corresponding agenda tables
November 2007 Meeting The purpose of this meeting is to present relevant Information to the
team for review of the NCDOT preferred alternatives and the associated avoidance and minimization
measures, to date An Environmental Assessment for this project was approved on October 30, 1998
and distributed prior to implementation of the NCDOT Merger Process As requested by the FHWA,
the environmental data presented m the EA will be updated and documented in the FONSI, along with
any project design revisions
2 Purpose and Need
The purpose of the project is to improve safety along a section of US 421 that is defined by
numerous at-grade intersections The project consists of the construction of the final two
interchanges along this section of US 421, south of Greensboro During the realignment and
widening of US 421 from NC 62 to SR 3314 (Wiley Lewis Road), no funding was available for
the construction of the interchanges connecting Neelley Road to Williams Dairy Road and

Environmental Impacts Review, Avoidance & Minimization and Agency EA Comments Resolution
Woody Mill Road to Company Mill Road These intersections have been signed as temporary
at-grade intersections since the realignment project was completed

? DWO
• Recommends the development of the stream and wetland mitigation plans during the
design process
¦ The Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for stream and wetland
m itigation
• Based upon the Environmental Assessment, an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification
will be required for this protect
o NCWRC
Due to the environmental commitments included in the EA and the limited scope of the
protect, we do not object to the project as proposed At this time, we concur with the EA
for this protect
NCDOT should continue efforts to reduce wetland and stream impacts
NCDOT Best Management practices and appropriate sedimentation and erosion control
measures should be employed to minimize impacts to off-site resources
e USACOE
¦ There are no USACOE projects that would be impacted by the proposed improvements
¦ Big Alamance Creek does have a significant portion of detailed study in the Guilford
County Flood Insurance Study, but the portion potentially impacted by the protect is
mapped approximately
• Affected water bodies include Big Alamance Creek, and unnamed tributaries, above
headwaters
• It is probable that an individual Department of the Army permit will be required for this
protect
• Authorization of aquatic fill activities requires that the protect be water dependent and/or
that no practicable alternatives are available
¦ Considering the information on impacts to aquatic resources that is available at this time,
including the discussion of alternatives in the Environmental Assessment, Alternative A-2
would be the Corps' preferred alternative for the Woody Mill Road Interchange
Alternative A-1 would be the least preferred Alternative B-3A would be the Corps'
preferred alternative for the NC 22 Interchange/Overpass Alternative B-1 would be the
least preferred

• Support was expressed for the project
• Multiple concerns were expressed regarding the closing of the Hagen Stone Park Road
Intersection
• Several comments favored control of access breaks at the Woody Mill Road Interchange
to allow new retail development within the project area
• Opposition was expressed regarding control of access breaks at the Woody Mill Road
Interchange and potential new retail development within the project area
• Concern was expressed regarding the Neelley Road-Liberty Road intersection
reconfiguration
• Multiple concerns were expressed regarding potential traffic increases along most minor
roads in the project area due to the interchange construction at both locations
