In accordance with the State of North Carolina's Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0267-Jordan Water Supply Nutrient Strategy: Protection and
Maintenance of Riparian Areas, any applicant that intends to disturb Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the stream buffer must show that there is "No
Practical Alternative" than to impact the stream buffer. The applicant submitted a "No Practical Alternative Request" on October 18, 2022,
stating that the stream buffer disturbances in Zone 1 and Zone 2 were necessary for the installation/construction of a sanitary sewer outfall,
the construction/installation of the components of the permanent SCM, and piping a stream under a permit issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers.

Information submitted by the applicant explained how the impacts have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Please be advised
