4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to increase hydraulic capacity to this system by adding a 20 -inch line that Will parallel to the existing 16 -inch force main that runs through the
interchange. The existing line is currently undersized and creates a "bottle -neck' in flow at the interchange.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed project will include the installation of approximately 4,600 LF of 20 -inch PVC and RJPVC Sewer Force Main at the HWY 70 BYP/70 BUS interchange in Johnston County.
Each end of the proposed 20 -inch force main Will be connected to the existing 16- and 12 -inch force mains that are currently owned and operated by Johnston County. All of the
proposed force main will be installed within a NC DOT controlled access right-of-way.The force main transmits flow from several upstream pump stations in the Clayton area to the
existing WWTP. The line will start on the north side of the existing 70 BYP/70 BUS interchange, and tie-in on the south side of the interchange. See map included. Johnston County will
obtain a construction easement from NC DOT to install the line.

3j. Comments:
Site is located within the Muse River Basin. Because the stream impacts are less than 40 LF in width, riparian buffer impacts are considered exempt.
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 applicant has attempted to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas as much as possible. All impacts will occur within a DOT right-of-way
and will be restored to pre -construction grade once the line is installed. The construction corridor at the stream crossing has been minimized to a 25 -ft
width. Additionally, only a 10 -ft wide maintenance corridor is proposed. The remaining portion of the corridor will be allowed to revegetate.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Silt fencing will be installed to prevent erosion into adjacent jurisdictional areas and wetland impact areas will be seeded. Anti -seep collars will be used.
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?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
All impacts are temporary. Disturbed areas will be returned to pre -construction grades and seeded. Of the total temporary wetland impact, 0.091 acre will be permanently maintained as
a mowed corridor (10 -ft wide). Areas outside of the 10 -ft wide maintenance corridor will be allowed to revegetate with woody vegetation.
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?
r Yes a No
What type of SCM are you providing?
❑ Level Spreader
❑ Vegetated Conveyance (lower SI WT)
❑ Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
❑ Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
® Proposed project will not create concentrated stornvater flowthrough the buffer
Diffuse Flow Documentation
2. Stormwater Management Plan

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 Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?*
r Yes r No

r- Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
The proposed sewer line will parallel an existing line to alleviate a current bottleneck and is not expected to result in additional development beyond
what is already anticipated for the region.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r- Nor N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated
at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
Project involves the installation of a parallel sewer line, which will tie into a wastewater treatment plant.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
Sa. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?

r- Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program GIS layer was used to determine the presence of federally listed species. No federally -protected species are known
to occur within the project site. However, the northern long-eared bat is known to occur in Johnston County. Some of the corridor is wooded and trees
will be removed to install the line. No hibernacula or maternity roost trees are known to occur in Johnston County. Therefore, any take related to tree
clearing is exempt per the 4(d) rule. No impacts to any other federally -listed species are anticipated to occur from the proposed project.
