D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a.
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The area is currently gravel with no stormwater treatment value. The proposed landscaping will provide some
volume and velocity reduction.
1 b.
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques. Ground disturbance will be kept to a minimum by using hand tools for framing the concrete
paths.
2. Buffer Mitigation
2a.
Will the project result in an impact within a protected riparian buffer that
requires buffer mitigation?
❑ Yes ® No
2b.
If yes, then identify the square feet of impact to each zone of the riparian buffer that requires mitigation and
calculate the amount of mitigation required in the table below.

Diffuse Flow Plan
All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of Diffuse flow
stormwater treatment. Include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be ❑ Other BMP
maintained. If a Level Spreader is proposed, attach a Level Spreader Supplement Form.
If due to site constraints, a BMP other than a level spreader is proposed, please provide a
plan for stormwater treatment as outlined in Chapter 8 of the NC Stormwater BMP
l Manual and attach a BMP Sui)plement Form.
