61. Comments:
Buffer Impacts B1 and B2 are for the residence and necessary infrastructure. The Zone 1 buffer impacts do not require mitigation per Zach Thomas and
Chem Smith because we are converting a much larger amount of existing impervious surface in Zone 1 back to pervious vegetated areas so the net
result is that there will be 713 sq ft less impervious in Zone 1 after the project is complete. Buffer impact B3 is for inlet and outlet culvert protection along
the headwalls for the culvert at the driveway crossing. Buffer impact B4 is for stream pump around activities that include a temporary coffer dam.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The residence and associated driveway and parking areas were designed to minimize impacts to the most feasible extent possible. Headwalls were
used at the culvert driveway crossing to minimize stream impacts. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices equaling those outlined in the
most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual' will be used to minimize impacts to the stream.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Specific attention will be paid to ensure grading is only performed to the extent needed for the proposed project and all grading not required will be
avoided. Additional impacts to the jurisdictional stream will be avoided through the use of appropriate sediment and erosion control devices.
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
a
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The impacts associated with this project are below the mitigation thresholds for a Nationwide Permit 29.
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?

Level Spreader
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
