1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
The new bridge was designed to prevent piers within the normal flow channel of the Ivy River. The bridge opening
is large enough to pass high flow events. Only temporary impacts are required for the project.
