�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:
See stormwater management plan for minimization measures.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The new bridge will have no deck drains or direct discharge into Lower Little River. The bridge will be replaced on the existing alignment. An off -site
detour will be used during construction.
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:
Impacts are not considered a loss of "waters of the United States"

F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent toprotected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
f Yes r No
If no, explain why:
This project is not located within one of the protected riparian buffer basins.
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:
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?*

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?*

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.
Due to the minimal transportation impact resulting from this bridge replacement, this project will neither influence nearby land uses nor stimulate
growth. 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?*
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?*

5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
Raleigh
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
r Yes r No r 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?

N.C. Natural Heritage Program database; USFWS-Raleigh Field Office website;biological surveys for protected species listed for Cumberland County,
which include American alligator, Cape Fear shiner, red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW), Saint Francis satyr butterfly, American chaffseed, Michaux's
sumac, pondberry and rough -leaved loosestrife. All species, except Cape Fear shiner received biological conclusions of "No Effect', due to no habitat
being present. A biological conclusion for American alligator is not required due to its listing as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance. A survey
for the Cape Fear shiner was conducted on June 21, 2018. A biological conclusion of May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect was rendered due to
the presence of suitable habitat and a known occurrence of the species approximately 10 miles downstream of the project. The Northern long-eared
bat has a conclusion of May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect and is covered under a Programmatic Biological Opinion. The Little Lower River was
determined to be a venter body large enough to be considered foraging habitat for the bald eagle. A visual survey for nest trees was conducted on
March 9, 2016 within 660 feet of the study area. No eagles or nest trees were observed.
