This damaged aerial crossing is being replaced to protect the surrounding parcels and water bodies fro potential sanitary sewerage exposure and to better convey existing flows to the
downstream sewers. This project entails excavation and backfill as necessary to remove and replace the damaged aerial crossing with a new40' steel pipe aerial crossing. No joints are
allowed within the creek. Anchored geotextile filter fabric and Class B rip rap will be used to armor the banks and contours will be returned to original elevations. See attached Detail

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:
Work is limited to only necessary areas for rehabilitation of the sewer line. Access to the work area is via epsting sanitary sewer easements. The
project will be completed during a relatively low -flow period. Any redesign would result in a greater impact to water bodies and buffer zones on site.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Disturbance will be limited to the work area only as needed to replace the aerial crossing. Al ground disturbance due to access will be graded to
original contours, strawed and seeded. A pump -around will be employed and work will be done "in the dry".
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?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
This project is maintenance. It only replaces an already existing structure.
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?

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered
Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
A NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database search was conducted for the USGS Cary
Quadrangle (www.ncnhp.org/web/nhp/database-search) on 2/6/19. The NHP database identified
two occurrences of federally-protected species.
• The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was identified as having current occurrences
within the Cary quadrangle. The bald eagle is not listed as a federally endangered or
threatened species; however, it is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (BGPA).
Bald eagles live near rivers, large lakes and marshes where they can find fish and other
prey animals. Bald eagles require a good food base, perching areas, and nesting sites.
Although several small ponds/lakes are located within the vicinity of the project site, no
large water bodies are located within one mile of the project site. Based upon this
information, the project is anticipated to have NO EFFECT on this species.
• Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii) is listed by the NHP as having documented
occurrences in Wake County. Michaux’s sumac is a woody shrub found in open woods in
rocky or sandy soils. The project are consists of maintained sanitary sewer/greenway
easements, all under canopy cover. No specimens of Michaux’s sumac have been
observed at the project site. Based upon this information, the project is anticipated to
have NO EFFECT on this species.
An IPac Trust Resources Report and an official threatened and endangered species list was
requested from the USFWS Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS)
(http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac) on 2/9/19. Three federally-listed species in addition to Michaux’s
sumac were listed as having recorded occurrences in Wake County.
• The endangered Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) has historical
occurrences in southern Wake County. According to the ECOS species profile, this
species inhabits mature pine forests. The project area is composed of maintained utility
easements surrounded by single-family residential lots. No cutting of vegetation is
proposed for this project. Based upon this information, the project is anticipated to
have NO EFFECT on this species.
• The endangered Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdon) is found in creeks and
rivers in stable habitats with substrates ranging from mixed sand, pebble, and gravel, to
clay and silty sand. The unnamed tributary to Swift Creek in the project area has an
incised channel with a considerable clay loamy bedload. No suitable habitat appears
present for this species. Based upon this information, the project is anticipated to
have NO EFFECT on this species.
• The Yellow Lance (Elliptio lanceolata) is proposed as Threatened. This species is found
in medium-sized rivers and smaller creeks, usually in sand, but sometimes gravel,
substrates. This species depends on clean, moderate flowing water with high dissolved
oxygen. As described above, the unnamed tributary to Swift Creek has an incised channel
with a considerable clay loamy bedload and does not provide a suitable habitat for this
species. Based upon this information, the project is anticipated to have NO EFFECT
on this species.
