discharge vdll impact approbmately 6 linear feet of stream. Any area left exposed after grading vrll be immediately stabilized and seeded vdth temporary and permanent grass seed. A
variety of heavy equipment will be used during the construction of this project and may include dump trucks, skid steers, track hoes, or other equipment.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Multiple designs were drafted in order to reduce impacts to aquatic resources and the final design results in the least amount of impacts. All disturbed
areas will be stabilized at the close of construction each day in order to prevent sediment run-off. Silt fences will be placed where necessary.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All streambank disturbances will be stabilized same day with matting and seeding to reduce sedimentation during construction. Equipment will work
from the stream bank and only in the stream when absolutely necessary. Only well -maintained equipment will be used, no leaks will be tolerated. All
equipment will be in newand/or good condition. Silt fencing will be installed to prevent construction runoff to enter streams.
