Wetlands in buffers for site 1 total 1,556 sgft in zone 1 and 808 sgft in zone 2. Mitigation for wetland impacts exceeds the mitigable impact for buffers,
so no mitigation is proposed for the parallel buffer impact.
Supporting Documentation
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
U
1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This bridge replacement was originally designed on new alignment about 50 feet upstream of epsting; however, per agency comment, it was
redesigned on epsting alignment which reduced total wetland impacts from over 1 acre to less than 0.3 acres and reduced permanent channel
change impacts from 236 feet to 105 feet. The typical roadway section is the minimum Width per roadway design standards while the fill slopes are set
to the mabmum slope per geotechnical recommendations. Slopes along the unnamed tributary in the northwest quadrant have been further
steepened with rock plating. NCDOT Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds Will be employed. See Stormwater Management Plan for additional
measures.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Project was redesigned to replace bridge on epsting alignment using an offsite detour to reduce impacts. The proposed bridge will have no direct
discharge into the water. No roadside ditching is proposed at any of the quadrants of the bridge.

manatee, dwarf wedgemussel, Tar River spinymussel, Atlantic sturgeon, rough -leaved loosestrife and sensitive joint -vetch. All species, except
Northern long eared bat and West Indian manatee received biological conclusions of "No Effect". The Northern long eared bat has a biological
conclusion of "May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect and is covered under a programmatic biological opinion with the USFWS for this project. West
Indian manatee has a biological conclusion of "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" NCDOT will adhere to "Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the
West Indian Manatee: Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters" during construction. Habitat for rough -leaved
loosestrife and sensitive joint -vetch is present in the study area, however surveys were conducted on 6/14/2019, for the species and no specimens
were observed. No eagles or eagle nests were observed within 660 feet of the study area.
