4a. 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 property is comprised of young hardwoods and planted pine with two, drainage systems crossing the site. Aerial photos from the 1990s show that the site has been clear cut several
times for silviculture purposes. Soils are comprised of two, non-hydric soils mapping units: Creedmoor-Green Level complex, 2-6 % slopes and Creedmoor-Green Level complex, 6-10%
slopes. The site is located in the Harris Lake watershed and the nearest names stream is Shaddox Creek. The surrounding land use is light industry, silviculture, and rural residential land.
This project was previously permitted as the Conservancy at Jordan Lake. Those permits (see below) have expired and the name of the project has changed; however, the overall project
impacts remain the same.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
SAW-2019-01410
DWR#20-0396
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
2
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2000
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Project purpose is to develop a single-family community to serve this area of Chatham County. The Estates at Finley Farms will be a single and complete project that operate
independently of any other prior or future development.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The project will consist of developing single-family lots for homes. A single road crossing over a tributary of Shaddox Creek will be required to access the entire site. This crossing will
impact a small amount of stream channel. Road widening for a turn land on Old US 1 will impact a small wetland area as well. No indirect impacts are anticipated. Typical equipment for
land clearing and grading will be utilized in the upland areas.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
20
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The project was designed to minimize impacts by placing the single road crossing in a location that would not impact wetlands in addition to the stream.
The crossing is perpendicular to minimize impacts also. The project does not impact wetlands or streams elsewhere on the site except for a small
wetland impact associated with the widening of Old US 1 near the site entrance
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The stream crossing will use headwalls to minimize the amount of disturbance to the stream bed. Also, rip -rap will be embedded into the stream bed to
serve as a velocity dissipater. The culvert will be buried in accordance with regulations to allow for aquatic life passage.
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?
Yes No
0

2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Does not exceed mitigation thresholds
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?

Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
