4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to replace a failed culvert that has made Buckingham Road impassable at Tributary C to Third Fork Creek.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project consists of replacing a failed CMP culvert spanning Tributary C to Third Fork Creek along Buckingham Road in Durham, NC. The existing 7.5'wx6'h pipe arch is located at
the crossing between Hope Valley Road and Devon Road. A new 16' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert is proposed to replace the existing failed CMP culvert (see attached site plan).
The new culvert will be embedded one foot to allowfor aquatic life passage. Baffles are not included in the design due to constraints from existing utilities that cross over the culvert.
The culvert replacement and bank stabilization will necessitate impacts to Tributary C. Permanent impacts will include 33 If of bank stabilization on the upstream end of the culvert and
16 If of riprap dissipator pad on the downstream end of the culvert. Additionally, 5 If of temporary impacts are proposed for construction access. No wetland impacts are proposed. The
attached Stream Impact Exhibit depicts the overall project plan view and details of the proposed impact areas. Heavy equipment typical for road construction, utility installation and
grading will be used to construct the proposed project such as track hoes, bulldozers, dump trucks and graders.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
914.91KB
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Stream impacts have been minimized to a total of 54 If. Of the 54 If of proposed stream impacts, 33 If are proposed bank stabilization to correct active
bank erosion on the upstream side of Buckingham Road that has occurred since the culvert failed. An additional 5 If of proposed stream impact is a
temporary impact for equipment access during construction. The remaining 16 If of proposed impact is permanent impact for the installation of a riprap
dissipator pad to prevent erosion on the downstream end of the culvert. The primary purpose of the proposed permanent stream impacts is to improve
the stability of the stream to prevent continued erosion and culvert failure. Additionally, the proposed culvert will be embedded one foot to allowfor
aquatic life passage.
The proposed box culvert is wider than the exsting stream channel; however, the area required to pass the 100-year storm that achieves "no -rise' in
the FEMA Base Flood Elevation at this location and existing water, sanitary sewer and fiber optic lines above the culvert constrain the available depth
needed to include baffles into the culvert design.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project will be developed and approved by the City of Durham, and the project will comply with the
supplementary NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000).
Additionally, stream flowwill be pumped around the project area during construction to avoid flowing water coming into contact with the disturbed area.
The construction detail of the pump around plan is attached at end of this application.
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:
Total stream impacts are less than 150 linear feet. Because the impacts have been minimized to a total of 54 If whose primary purpose is to improve the stability of the stream to prevent
continued erosion and future culvert failure, compensatory mitigation is not proposed.
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 r No
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SMNT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
V Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer

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 USFWS IPaC web tool (https://ecos.fws.gov/ipact) and the NC Natural Heritage Program Data Explorer
(http://nenhde.natureserve.org/content/map) were accessed on July 5, 2019 to determine if the project would impact Endangered Species or
Designated Critical Habitat. An official species list for the project area was generated
using the USFWS IPaC regulatory reviewtool. The official species list identified the Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Michauxs sumac (Rhus
michauxii) and smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) as federally listed species that may occur Wthin the project area. There are no critical
habitats within the project area. USFWS and NHP letters and a species conclusion table are attached.
On July 15, 2019, Emily Wells advised that suitable habitat for Atlantic pigtoe was not present within the project area (email attached). On July 12,
2019, Kelly Roth with McAdams conducted a habitat assessment. Suitable habitat for Michau:(s Sumac and Smooth Coneflower is not present within
the project area. The project review package for USFWS is attached.
