4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 7 has a sufficiency rating of 20.42 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally obsolete
due to a structural evaluation rating of 3 out of 9 according to Federal Highway Administration (FFM/A) standards. Bridge No. 7 has a six[y-six year old timber substructure which has a
typical life e�ectancy between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of vYnod. Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few members are
damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration, timber structures become impractical to maintain and upon eligibility are programmed for
replacement. Bridge No. 7 is approaching the end of its useful life.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
This project replaces Lincoln County Bridge No. 7 along NC 182 over Indian Creek. Bridge No. 7 is 189 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge approximately 200 feet long
providing a minimum 34-foot clear deck width. The bridge will include two 11-foot lanes with 6-foot offsets. The approach roadway will eMend appro�mately 340 feet from the west end
and 535 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will be constructed to include a 32-foot pavement width providing tv�.n 11- foot lanes with 5-foot wide full-depth paved
shoulders. The roadway will be designed as a rural major collector using Subregional Tier guidelines with a 60 mile per hour design speed. Traffic will be detoured off-site during
construction. Standard road building equipment, such as trucks, dozers, and cranes will be used.

3j. Comments:
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 will be replaced on the existing alignment. An offsite detour will be used to maintain traffic during construction. No bents will be located
within the stream banks. Deck drains will not be used. Drainage has been designed to maintain ewsting drainage pattems and have as little
environmental and surface water impacts as possible. Class II riprap on the exiting banks has been specified to stabilize the eroding banks under the
proposed bridge.
1b. Specificallydescribe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:

Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds will be implemented during project construction. The superstructure consists of a concrete deck with an
asphalt surface. The substructure consists of timber end and interior bents with concrete caps. tt should be possible to remove the structure with no
resulting debris in the water based on standard demolition practices.
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?
C' Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The NCDOT does not propose mitigation for the bank stabilization and temporary causeway impacts related to this project. These impacts do not require permanent fill in the stream
bed and, therefore, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, do not constitute Loss of Waters of the U.S. and are not subject to compensatory mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) " I
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:
Outside any buffered basin and not on the main stem Catawba.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes �' No
Comments:
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federallstate/local) funds or the use of public (federallstate) land?*
F 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
1c. If you answered "yes" to the above, has the document review been finalized bythe State Clearing House?*
r Yes r No
NEPAor SEPAFinal Approval Letter
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)?*
� Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? *
C' Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
Due to the minimal transportation impact resulting from this bridge replacement, this project will neither influence nearby land uses nor stimulate
grow[h. Therefore, a detailed indirect or cumulative effects study will not be necessary.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
C' Yes r No � WA
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?*

C' Yes r No
C' Unknown
Si. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
� Yes r No
If yes, please provide details to include type of percussive activity, purpose, duration, and specific location of this activity on the property.
S. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
As of June 27, 2018 the USFWS lists three protected species for Lincoln County - northern long-eared bat, dwarf-flowered heartleaf and Michau�(s
sumac. Please see the attached SLOPES memo dated December 3, 2018 for northem long-eared bat - no evidence of bat use was observed at the
bridge. (This project was previously federally funded and a 4(d) memo was sent to USFWS on September 19, 2017, so that memo is also attached just
FYI). Dwarf-flowered heartleaf and Michau�(s sumac habitat is present within the project area, however, surveys of suitable habitat in May 2015 did not
find any populations or plants of either species. A sumac resurvey was conducted in October 2017 and no populations or plants were identified.
