4. Project Description
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The study area lies in the Piedmont physiographic region of North Carolina. Topography in the project vicinity is
comprised of mostly rolling country with stream beds in Orange County ranging in elevation from 200 to 500 feet.
Elevations in the study area range from 430 to 460 ft. above sea level. Land use in the project vicinity consists
primarily of residential development along roadways and narrow wooded buffers along stream corridors. A paved
greenway trail is located within the riparian buffer. Copy of the NRTR is attached.

0.047 AC within the study area.
4e. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
(interrrittent and perennial)
349 feet within the study area
4f. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
A traffic roundabout will be constructed for the purpose of making the intersection safer and more effective in
handling existing and future traffic. It is needed to improve traffic operations through the reduction of backups,
reduction of delays and the ability to handle traffic growth in the area. A secondary purpose for the project is to
maintain safety for the volume of pedestrian and bicyclists in the area as traffic increases.
4g. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:'�
The followtext was taken from the attached CE document.
The proposed single-lane roundabout will include a grassed raised center and contain a berm area to connect to
future sidewalks along Estes Drive Extension. The roundabout will allowtrucks with trailers up to 62-feet long;
trucks with longer trailers will fit except for right turns from North Greensboro Street onto Estes Drive Extension.
New sidewalks will be constructed around all three sides of the intersection, with pedestrian crosswalks on both
North Greensboro Street sides of the roundabout as well as the Estes Drive Extension side. Two other crosswalks
will also be constructed - one across Todd Street (located approximately 60-feet west and parallel to the Frances
Lloyd Shetley Bikeway) to facilitate pedestrian travel long North Greensboro Street. The other is proposed across
North Greensboro Street about 1,100 feet north of the roundabout, west of Williams Street. This mid-block
crosswalk was negotiated with the Town of Carrboro to address the significant volume of pedestrians in the
corridor and the community's concern with pedestrian (especially children walking to local schools) safety through
the new roundabout. The project also includes replacement of the "fork" in the existing multi-use Frances Lloyd
Shetley Bikeway with separate bicycle ramps for ccess on and off the roundabout. This is to satisfy the NCDOT
policy that does not allow bike lanes within roundabouts, therefore bicycles will be required to operate as vehicles
through the proposed roundabout. The proposed sidewalk on the Bikeway side of the roundabout will be split to
cross the bike lane ramp connections to the roundabout.
4h. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*

Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds were implemented.
The length of the new culvert was designed at the minimum length to accomplish project goals and safety.
The culvert invert will be buried one foot.
A step pool system was used in place of a riprap line channel. The step pool channel provides better habitat than
a riprap channel.
All ditches and concentrated flow points were eliminated.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds were implemented.
Culvert construction will take in the dry.
All disturbed areas will be stabilized with vegetation within 14 days.
A detailed streambank reforestation plan comprised of native species will be planted.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
f Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.01 acres.
Permanent stream impacts are less than 0.01 acres and less than 150 feet.
Permanent buffer impacts are are between 40 and 150 linear feet and less than 1/3 of an acre which is allowable under road crossing of
streams.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)

Rules?
C Yes C' No
1b. All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of stormwater treatment. If the project is subject to a
state implemented riparian buffer protection program, include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be maintained.
All Stormwater Control Measures (SCM)s must be designed in accordance with the NC Stormwater Design Manual. Associated
supplement forms and other documentation shall be provided.
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SMNT)
�J Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
