4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to replace Bridge No. 178. Bridge No. 178 was built in 1970 and NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 178 has a
sufficiency rating of 52.68 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is approaching the end of its useful life. Replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Exsting 3 span (1 @17'-10", 1@17'-0", 1@18'-0") bridge on SR-1145 that spans Browns Creek. The e�tisting bridge consists of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists, with end
bents and internal bents on timber caps and timber piers. The e�tisting bridge was constructed in 1970. Multiple beams have areas of decay to the point where maintenance activities
cannot extend the life of the structure. Additionally, the structure is considered structurally deficient due to deck, superstructure, and substructure condition ratings of 5, with an overall
sufficiency rating of 53.08. The bridge is approaching he end of its useful life. Replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations. The proposed bridge is a 2-span (1 @45',
1@35') 2Y' cored slab with 7-6" end bent cap on south end and vertical abutment on north end. The proposed bridge does not require deck drains and does not discharge directly into
the river. Runoff leaving the bridge deck is collected by inlet at the north end, and conveyed to a rip-rap pad at outlet, wfiich diffuses the flow into the floodplain before entering Browns
Creek. Roadway drainage runs off on either side of the proposed roadway and disperses into wEtlands and or natural ground. Construction of the new bridge will take place while an
off-site detour maintains traffic. Bank stabilization rip rap will be installed as necessary to prevent streambank degradation.
4j. 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:
The bridge was designed to retain the existing alignment as much as possible to minimize additional impacts resulting from the bridge replacement In
addition, an off-site detour will be utilized to minimize temporary impacts that would be introduced with an on-site detour.
1b. Specificallydescribe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The proposed bridge does not require deck drains and does not discharge directly into the river. Runoff leaving the bridge deck is collected by inlet at
the north end, and conveyed to a rip-rap pad at outlet, which diffuses the flow into the floodplain before entering Browns Creek. Roadway drainage
runs off on either side of the proposed roadway and disperses into wetlands and or natural ground. Construction of the new bridge will take place
wfiile an off-site detour maintains traffic. Bank stabili�ation rip rap will be installed as necessary to prevent streambank degradation. See Erosion
Control plans for additional measures.
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?
� Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Wetland impacts are less than 1 acre. Mitigation is not required.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
C' Yes r No
If no, explain why:
The project is located within the Cape Fear basin which is not one of the protected riparian buffers
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
Comments:

I G. Supplementary Information " I
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federallstate/local) funds or the use of public (federallstate) land?*
r Yes r No
1b. If you answered "yes" to the above, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or State (North Carolina)
Environmental PolicyAct (NEPAISEPA)?"
� Yes r No
Comments:
x
The proposed project qualifies for a minimum criteria project.
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
C' Yes � No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?"
� Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.

The bridge is being replaced with a wider structure at the same location. The replacement of the structure is not in conjunction with any other roadway
improvements. The ewsting bridge does not act as a"bottle neck," and changes in the pattems of residential or commercial development and/ or land
uses in the vicinity of the bridge project wvuld not be anticipated as stemming from the bridge's replacement. This type of project is not anticipated to
alter the ebsting land uses or increase accessibility to adjacent parcels.
