wooded wetlands
Page 6 of 13
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project includes the backfill of an existing drainage ditch that is recognized as
Section 404 wetlands. The purpose of this is for commercial development automotive
dealership). A new drainage swale would be created along the front of the property to
provide sufficient drainage of surface waters with a vegetative cover for filtration and
stabilization. The created wetland swale would be built at a 3:1 slope to the depth of the
existing ditch, and would be planted with approved vegetative cover. Proposed equipment
includes dump trucks, excavators and compaction equipment.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The proposed ditch backfill is necessary to provide a sufficient area for the proposed
automotive dealership. The ditch is currently in the middle of an upland portion of the
property. Relocation of the ditch will provide enough area for the proposed project. The
relocation is anticipated to be an improvement of the existing conditions by providing a
wider swale at a 3:1 grade with a stabilized approved vegetative cover.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same .T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
A wetland delineation plat of the property is being submitted to USACE for confirmation along
with this application package.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Future permit requests associated with commercial development include State Soil Erosion and

5. Pond Creation NA
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the, method of construction (e.g.; dam/embankment, excavation; installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The nronosed backfill of the existini drainage ditch is necessary for the proposed use of the
commercially zoned proEerty as an automotive dealership. The drainage ditch currently nuns
through the central portion of the property and restricts development unless it is backfilled. The
Page 9 of 13
enclosed site plan accurately depicts the currently proposed development plans, including the
placement of the Proposed drainage swale along the front of the property in place of the existing
ditch.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work- in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Proposed mitigation includes the creation of a new drainage swale along the front of the
property that ties into the existing surface drainage features on both sides of the subject tract.
The new drainage swale will be created with a 3:1 side slope and will be excavated to the
average maximum depth of the existing ditch (4.65' NGDV) or on average, 3' below the
existing grade. The proposed swale will cover approximately 15,086 SF (0.58 acres). The
ditch will be stabilized with herbaceous facultative plant species for stabilization and
filtration mitigative measures.
