VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to .avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were .minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce. impacts.

VIII. Mitigation Npne
vpa~t~a ~ inr2oos
Page 9 of 13

DWQ - In 'accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, .published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when.
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are .not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated. buffers'to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or .preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must he attached in order
for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing, Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the .:current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current
version,.}.
Provide a :brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as passible, including, but not limited to' site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite}, .affected stream and river basin,. type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate heet if more space is needed.
2, Mitigation may also be .made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919} 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this farm.. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http:/Iwww.nceep_net/pages/inlieureplace.ht~n. If use of the NCEEP is proposed,
please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation. requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):

justification for these impacts in Section VII. above. All proposed impacts must be listed :herein,
and must be clearly .identifiable an the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
