impact to Waters of the United States and four temporary impacts. Impact S1 consists of 90 linear feet (-0.0107 acres) of perennial stream impact of CH 100 for the installation of a culvert
for a road crossing. Impact S2 consists of 25 linear feet (--0.001 acre) of perennial stream impact of CH 200 for the installation of a culvert for a pedestrian path. The four temporary
impacts S3, S4, S5, and S6 are for temporary pump arounds above and below the culverts. Each temporary impact is 20 LF and will be restored to previous conditions.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The site has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. All 0.463 acres of wetlands are being
preserved. More than 98 % of the streams are being avoided. There is a FEMA floodplain and a named stream (Grants Creek) that briefly enter the
review area along the Northwestern property boundary.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts have been reduced by the proposed design and location of the buildings, positioning of parking, and the design of stormwater basins.
