Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: * The project site is divided into two sections, with the western side being forested and the eastern being mostly farm field, with associated NRPW and RPW ditches. Two (2) excluded Basin wetland pockets and a jurisdictional Pocosin wetland pocket can be found within the interior of the property. Three (3) RPW ditches are located on the eastern side of the property and there is another that runs along the southern property boundary, where it connects two (2) jurisdictional Pocosin wetland pockets. One last jurisdictional wetland pocket can be found on the eastern side of the property. Please see the attached site plan for details on where the wetlands and ditches are located. The site is surrounded by Empire Road SW and Mt. Pisgah Road SW, to the north and east respectively, and undeveloped land, farm land and residential development to the south and west.

Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: * Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands consist of permanently filling 1,521 LF (15,800 SF / 0.36 AC) of RPW ditches and one small Pocosin wetland pocket (0.08 AC), for the purpose of installing roads and infrastructure and providing sufficient building pads for five duplexes. Clean earthen fill will be used to fill the ditches. Large machinery, such as a backhoe, loader and dump truck, as well as other standard land clearing equipment will be used as needed. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* Yes No Unknown Comments: SEGi met with Gary Beecher, who approved the line as flagged by SEGi. The JD has not been issued. 5b.

Also, at this time, filling the ditches and wetlands was discussed. 6. Future Project Plans 6a. Is this a phased project?* Yes No Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity? The proposed project has independent utilities and access, thus meets the definition of a single and complete project. Additionally, the project is not part of a PUD and will not provide access to property that is currently land locked. D. Proposed Impacts Inventory 1. Impacts Summary la.

Total permanent open water impacts: 0.24 la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Prior to designing the project, the Applicant had the wetlands delineated, which allowed him to avoid the most functionally valuable, jurisdictional wetlands (i.e., Wetland #1, #2 and #3). 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Prior to land disturbing activities, silt fence and other SEC BMP will be installed, to ensure sediment does not discharge outside the approved limits of disturbance. The measures will be inspected at least once a week and after a storm event that produces more than 1" of rain within a 24 hour period. 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?
