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 previous applicant completed a jurisdictional wetland stream assessment/delineation and Neuse River stream buffer
evaluation for the property in order to identify the natural resources so that the project designers could design a site plan that
would minimize impacts to wetlands and streams to the maximum extent practicable. Three stream crossings are necessary in
order to provide access for residents and to ensure safety by providing multiple exit routes in case of an emergency. All three
crossings have been designed to impact the smallest amount of stream and buffer possible by using headwalls and retaining
walls to minimize the crossing width.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Erosion control devices & tree protection fences will be utilized in this project to protect environmental areas of concern. Limits of disturbance will be
clearly marked onsite to prevent an accidental impacts from occurring.
