E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
See attached Site Specific Avoidance and Minimization Efforts in the Miscellaneous Section.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
v

Erosion and sedimentation BMPs Will be installed prior to construction. Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent sedimentation of
downstream aquatic resources. Impacts Will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters,
restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination (including a pre -construction meeting) with the
Division Environmental Supervisor. Additionally, the outside buffer wetland and/or water boundary located within the construction corridor will be
clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities.

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) 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 Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? *
r Yes
r No
1c. If you answered "yes" to the above, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearing House?*
r Yes r No
NEPAor SEPA Final 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 (15ANCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
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.
Per the NC DWQ April 10, 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale public transportation projects- such as widening projects, bridge
replacements and intersection improvements- have a "low potential for cumulative impact since little (if any) new impervious surface is added and the
projects are usually in already developed locales." This proposed project is within a developed landscape (i.e. project site is exsting 1-440 corridor,
existing businesses and industrial buildings in the vicinity), this is not a road on a new location (i.e. there is an ebsting road thus the area already
contains impervious surfaces) and the project drains to Walnut Creek: C; NSW, Walnut Creek (Lake Johnson): B; NSW, Simmons Branch: C; NSW,
Bushy Creek: C; NSW, Rocky Branch: C; NSW, and House Creek: C; NSW, which are not HWQ or ORW. We anticipate the NC DWR will advise us if a
qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r Nor N/A
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat? *
r Yes
r No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*
r Yes
r No
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
Raleigh
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
r Yes r No
C Unknown
5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8?
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 county list and NCNHP database were consulted for Wake County on April 16, 2019. Also, the project was surveyed on June and July
2017, and January 2018 for the extended area around Moore Drive. A survey for species listed on May 3, 2018 was conducted on May 15 and 16,
2018.
May 15, 16, 2018 — Yellow lance, Tar River spinymussel, dwarf wedgemussel — all were no effect.
No surveys for Cape Fear shiner as the project is not in the Cape Fear Basin
June, July 2017 — bald eagle and Michau:(s sumac (Michauxs sumac around Moore Dr. in Jan. 2018)
May 2013 - RCW - USFWS did not require NCDOT to conduct further surveys for RCW due to the urban nature of the project.
