IV. PROJECT INFORMATION
1. In the space provided below, briefly summarize how the stormwater runoff will be treated.
Stormwater runnoff from the new arking area will sheet flow over the lot into a perimiter bioretnetion swale
Stormwater from the modified existing lot will continute to be treated via the newly renovated Willow Pond
constructed wertland treatment area.
2. a. If claiming vested rights, identify
the supporting documents provided and the date they were approved:
❑ Approval of a Site Specific Development PIan or PUD
❑ Valid Building Permit

b.If claiming vested rights, identify the regulation(s) the project has been designed in accordance with:
❑ Coastal SW -1995 ❑ Ph II - Post Construction
3. Stormwater runoff from this project drains to the French Broad River basin.
4. Total Property Area: 425.$ acres 5. Total Coastal Wetlands Area:_0 acres
6. Total Surface Water Area: 0 acres
7. Total Property Area (4) - Total Coastal Wetlands Area (5) - Total Surface Water Area (6) = Total Project
Area*:425.8 acres
+ Total project area shall be calculated to exclude the following: the normal pool of impounded structures, the area
between the banks of streams and rivers, the area below the Normal High Water (NHW) litre or Mean High Water
(MHW) line, and coastal wetlands landward from the NHW {or MH1N) litre. The resultant project area is used to
calculate overall percent built upon area (BETA). Non -coastal wetlands landward of the NHW {or MHW) line may
be included in the total project area.
8. Project percent of impervious area: (Total Impervious Area / Total Project Area) X 100 = 42 %
9. How many drainage areas does the project have?2 (For high density, count 1 for each proposed engineered
stormwater BMP. For low density and other projects, use I for the whole property area)
10. Complete the following information for each drainage area identified in Project Information item 9. If there
are more than four drainage areas in the project, attach an additional sheet with the information for each area

'Report only that amount of existing BUA that will remain after development. Do not report any existing BUA that
is to be removed and which will be replaced by new BUA.
11. How was the off -site impervious area listed above determined? Provide documentation.
No off -site areas flow to pr9ject area therefore no off -site impervious area was determined.
Projects in Union County: Contact DEMLR Central Office staff to check if the project is located within a Threatened &
Endangered Species watershed that may be subject to more stringent stormwater requirements as per 15A NCA C 02B .0600.

DECISION MEMO
SPECIAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT
U.S.: FOREST SERVICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA ARBORETUM
PISGAH NATIONAL FQRm, PISGAH RANGER DISTRICT
BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
BACKGROUND
The NC Arboretum requested to construct an additional parking lot to accommodate visitors to
the. facility within their existing special use permit area.
DECISION
I have decided to authorize the amendment to allow construction of an additional parking lot
within the perinit area for the NC Arboretum.
This action is categorically excluded from. documentation in an environmental impact statement
(EIS). or anenvironmental assessment (EA). The applicable category of actions is identified in
agency procedures as 36 CFR 220.6.(e)(3) Approval, modification., or continuation of minor
special uses of NFS lands that require less than five contiguous acres of land. This category of
action(s) is applicable because this easement is a minor special use that utilizes less than 5 acres
of.contiguous acres of land.
I find that there, are no extraordinary circumstances that Would warrant farther analysis and
documentation in an EA or EIS_ I took into account resource conditions.identified in agency
procedures that should be considered in determining whether extraordinary circumstances might
exist:
s Federally listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat, species
proposed for Federal listing or proposed critical habitat; or Forest Service sensitive
species -= Tree felling will not occur during the northern. long-eared bat Pup season. of
.rune P, to July 31'` to reduce the chance of directly impacting bats in unidentified roosts.
* Flood plains, wetlands., or municipal watersheds — None are present.
* Congressionally designated areas such as wilderness, wilderness study areas, or national
recreation areas — None are present.
o Inventoried roadless areas or potential wilderness areas None are present
o Research natural areas — None are present.
* American Indians and Alaska Native religious or cultural sites -- None are present.
