4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to improve access to 1-485 from Weddington Road and surrounding communities in Weddington, Matthew, and Charlotte city limits. Currently, Weddington
Road is not directly accessible from 1-485. The proposed interchange, located between the John Street and NC 16 (Providence Road) interchanges, will provide a closer and improved
route from the project area to 1-485.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*

The project is located in southeastern Mecklenburg County within City of Charlotte and the town of Matthews and will provide direct access to 1-485 for the predominantly residential
neighborhoods in the vicinity of the project area.
The project consists of constructing a half -clover interchange with ramps and loops in the northeast and southeast quadrants. This interchange will provide 16-foot wide ramps and 18-
foot wide loops. Waddington Road will be widened within the project area to 73-feet from face -of -curb to face -of -curb, and will have five travel lanes and bike lanes. A 6-foot wide
sidewalk will be provided on the west side and a 10-foot wide sidewalk will be provided on the east side of Weddington Road, including the bridge over 1-485. Left turn lanes will be
provided on Waddington Road at the ramp and loop intersections. Improvements will be made to the Waddington Road and McKee Road intersection. Impacts to jurisdictional resources
will result from culvert extensions (one 6' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert and one 72" reinforced concrete pipe) at the proposed interchange ramps and related outfall protection
and stream bank stabilization.
An existing sewer line is located within the existing 6' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). A sewer line extension will be conducted by the City of Charlotte and will be located
within the footprint of the culvert extension and bank stabilization at the outlet end of the culvert.
Standard road building equipment, such as loaders, compactors, excavators, dozers, and pavers will be used.

3j. Comments:
At Sites 1 and 2, the wasting culvert is not buried, therefore the culvert extension will not be buried. The bottom elevation of the extended culvert will
match the elevation of the eAsting stream bed. At Site 2, <0.01 (26 If) of temporary impacts due to construction activities are included within the bank
stabilization impacts.
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:
The final project design avoids and minimizes impacts to streams to the greatest extent practicable. Due to the location of the interchange ramps to be
constructed, impacts to streams were unavoidable. Headwalls and wingwalls have been included in the design to shorten fill slopes and reduce stream
impact length, protect the ends of the pipe, and guard against erosion. 2:1 slopes will be utilized at each stream crossing to minimize impacts. A
preformed scour hole at Station -L- 790+50 LT and dry detention basin at Station YSLPD- 20+00 RT are included in the design.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Construction and Maintenance Activities and Protection of Surface Waters will be adhered to.
Erosion control devices such as silt fence, rock inlet sediment traps, slope drains, clean water diversions, and silt bags will also be utilized to minimize
water quality impacts. Installation of the culvert extensions will be conducted utilizing pump around techniques to dewater the work zone. The pump
around at stream crossings will utilize temporary dams, pumps, and stilling basins to divert the channel baseflow around the work area rather than
installing a temporary pipe and diversion channel. By using this method, grading in the stream channel will be less intensive and will result in less
stream impacts. In locations where temporary construction activities will take place in the stream, the stream bed will be restored to pre -construction
contours.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

4c. If using stream mitigation, what is the stream temperature:
warm
4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested:
(acres)
4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested:
(acres)
No mitigation is required for the stream bank stabilization or temporary impacts as these impacts do not constitute a loss of waters of the U.S.
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
If no, explain why:
The water resources within the project area are not in any buffered basins and not on the main stem of the Catawba River.
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:
BMPs that will be used include a drydetention basin, the promotion of sheet flowand infiltration with grassed shoulders except were shoulder berm gutter is required, drainage systems
outlet to riprap pads or riprap lined ditches, and riprap on embankments to prevent erosion where ditches enter streams.
The stormwater management plan "R-0211 EC_HYD_SMP" is attached at the end of the ePCN.
G. Supplementary Information

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 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)?*
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.
The areas where development can still occur are minimal therefore this project Wil have little influence on additional development. The areas that will
be directly impacted are mostly built out. It appears that growth in this area has preceded the proposed project. These areas are directly influenced by
the zoning the local municipalities have in place. Any additional development in the area would be required to adhere to local stormwater rules.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)

r 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.
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The USFWS county list, North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) data explorer, October 2018 Freshwater Mussel Survey Report, and
August 2018 NEPA Construction Consultation were used. A biological conclusion of No Effect was rendered for Carolina heelsplitter, Michau)rs Sumac,
Schweinitts sunflower, and smooth coneflower. NCDOT determined that the proposed action does not require separate consultation for the northern
long-eared bat on the grounds that the proposed action is consistent with the final 4(d) rule under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see
attached memo). The rusty -patched bumble bee was recently listed as endangered but as a historic record. Because the project area is in the
historical range of rusty -patched bumble bee, no Section 7 consultation is needed.
