3. Project Description
3a Describe the existing conditions on the site,and the land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application
The Project Site is the Phase 4 & 5 sections (54 58 -ac ) of The Woodlands, a 1'38 2 -acre single. family residential
development The Woodlands is located on the northern flank of Little Phoenix Mountain off Jake Blackburn Road
Elevations range from 2,800 to 3,300 feet above ,sea level Project area has slopes ranging from 15 to 50% and is
primarily composed of forested land Phases, 1, 2; and 3 of the development, have a total of 41 platted lots,. <30 of which
have been sold, all subdivision roads have been installed and home construction ,is active Phases 4 and 5 are in the
process of being platted (please refer to Site Plan), road and lot layout is preliminary In the Phase 4 section, an existing
10' wide forest road traverses the Project Site No USGS blue, line tributaries are found on project Six intermittent
tributaries and eight wetland units have been mapped' through the Project Site (see Existing, Conditions — 'Delineation
Map) General land use, in the vicinity of project is single family residential Small scale agriculture and timbering activities
are found in the surrounding area The drainage area of the project is composed mostly of forested property with a
number of single family homes A private subdivision road, Woodland Ridge, provides access to the,project site
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
Phase 4 & 5 (Project,Site) 0 661- acres, / Woodlands Development 1683 -acres
3c, List the total estimated linear feet,of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
Phase 4 & 5 (Project Site) 2,987 If / Woodlands Development 8,409 If
3d Explain the purpose of,the proposed protect
The purpose of the project is to construct a subdivision road in the Phase 4 & 5 sections of The Woodlands development
to access proposed lots,42 -66

3e Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
Project History In 2007, The Woodlands development received an approved 404/401 NWP#29 (Action ID 2007 -2276-
305, DWQ# 07 -1096) for 144 If of stream impacts and 0 111 -acres of wetland impacts The Woodlands, 2007 Site Plan
planned to complete the 93 11 -acre property in two phases (Phases 1 and 2) Following permit approval, work was
completed on a portion of the project Three of the seven approved stream crossings were completed (S -1, S -2, S -3),
three of the six approved wetland impact sites were completed (W -1, W -2, W -3) Site development was not completed
before the permit expired on September 5 of 2009 The as -built impact totals are 88 If of streams and 0 062 -acres of
wetlands (see attached Impact Completion Table) The Phase 2 portion of the project ended with the completion of
Salamander Creek road Crossing #3 was not completed on the end,of Salamander,Creek, the impact is being eliminated
with a bridge crossing,to access lots 31 and 32
Recently The Woodlands development has increased in size from 93 11 -acres to 138 2 -acres Three additional phases
have been added (Phases 3, 4, and 5) Phase 3 has been completed along the eastern portion of the property, which
held no Jurisdictional waters Phase 3 'included the extension of Woodland Ridge road and completing Raccoon Ridge
road to the southeast extent of the development Phase 4 was recently added to complete Woodlands Ridge road
through the proposed Project Site and access the western portion of the development Phase 5was added to access the
southern ndge
Current Activity The Woodlands is applying for NWP #29 & WQC# 3890 permits in order to complete Phases 4 and 5
The total proposed permanent stream impacts for completing The Woodlands development has not changed from the
2007 permitted amount (144 If) except for an additional 4 If of temporary stream impacts The distribution of stream
impacts has changed slightly due to an alignment shift of Woodland Ridge road Wetland impact totals have slightly
increased' (0 027 -ac ) bringing the total proposed wetland impacts to 0 138 -acres Please refer to the current Impact Map
and 2007 Impact Map to compare changes in nomenclature and impact locations Wetland boundaries and stream
locations have preliminary JD approval following a site visit by the USACE on April 8, 2014 (see Existing Conditions -
Debneation Map)
'Description of proposed impact sites impacts W-4, W -5, and W -6 are wetlands located in the existing forest road bed,
excavation and fill impacts are proposed as part of new road construction Impact S-4 is on tributary 3S at an existing 12'

to access lot 43 for a septic field easement serving lot 42
All stream work to be performed in 'the dry Pump' around operations will be used Stabilization of disturbed areas
following culvert installations will be completed with an erosion control seed mix and straw cover Appropriate erosion
control measures voll be utilized during new road construction based on the Woodlands Sediment and Erosion Control
Plan Typical site grading equipment will be used for the project including backhoe, bull dozer, and dump truck.

Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.,
Avoidance and Minimization
la
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
All stream and wetland impact locations are in Phases 4 and 5 along an existing forest road, utihzmg,the,existing forest
road will,reduce the amount of disturbance in project area ENV -ECS, Inc completed a NCWAM on wetlands in the forest
road and surrounding area Wetlands located along the forest road were found to be low quality and surrounding
wetlands were assessed as high quality Only low quality wetlands,are proposed to be impacted with impacts to occur
within the existing forest road footprint
b
Specifically, describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts,through construction techniques
Proposed stream impacts located along existing forest road, existing culverts will be upgraded with new road
construction New culverts will use�propnetary headwalls which provide load bearing support for the road allowing for
shorter pipe lengths and reducing stream impacts Pump around operations will be,camed out at each stream crossing,
allowing work to'be performed in the dry during new pipe installation

4h Comments No stream mitigatiomis proposed,as total stream impacts,are less than 150 linear feet This project was
originally permitted in 2007 when the wetland mitigation threshold was 0 25 acres, with this re- application the project design
is essentially the same but wetland impacts have increased by 0 027 acres bringing the total to -0 138 acres Of'this total,
0 062 acres is'exwsting old impact and 0 076 acres is proposed new'impact The three old impact locations (W -1, W -2, and W-
3) are being_ mitigated at a 2*1 ratio, because their wetland quality was not assessed-using WAM and these areas are-thought
to have all been natural wetlands North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) -was carried out on the, three new
wetland impact locations (W-4. W =5. and W-6) Three new wetland impact locations are °within the,footprint of amexisting
forest roadibed and "were °found to be low quality wetlands'based on NCWAM (see,attached) Surrounding reference wetlands
were found to be high quality headwater forest wetlands The low quality of the proposed impact,sites is understandable given
that these wetlands - formed, over time, in depressions in a road bed, have formed over a, compacted base, and'have'received
periodic disturbance over the Vears such that'the vegetation component is,weak Because these new wetland impact
locations received a low quality score, it is proposed they be mitigated at,a 1 1 ratio Based on this rationale, the total wetland
mitigation proposed is as follows (0 62 acres (old) X 2 = 0 124 acres) + (0 076 acres X 1 ='O 076 acres) = 0 200 acres total
