E. Impact Justification and Mitigation v
1.Avoidance and Minimization
1a.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Expansion of mining area strictly avoids all wetland areas except where road crossing is necessary.
1 b.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Minimal impacts to widen and reinforce proposed road crossing.Cofferdams to protect water quality when placing culvert,S&EC measures during earth
moving.
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?
Yes No
2b.If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation,explain why:
NC Stream Temperature Classification Maps can be found under the Mitigation Concepts tab on the Wilmington District's RIBITS website.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
***Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section.***
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?
Yes No
1 b.All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of stormwater treatment. If the project is subject to a state implemented riparian buffer protection program,
include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be maintained.
All Stormwater Control Measures(SCM)s must be designed in accordance with the NC Stormwater Design Manual. Associated supplement forms and other documentation shall be
provided.

What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance(lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale(higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30%nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
(check all that apply)
