4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The subject property is located at Fairview Drive and Dallas Bessemer City Highway in the City of Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina (the "subject property"). The subject
property currently consists of 110.24 acres of vacant land. A gravel drive provides access to the subject property from Dallas Bessemer City Highway on the west side of the subject
property. An intermittent stream flow from southwest to northeast along the northwestern and northern property boundary. Two wetland areas were identified on the subject property.
Wetland A is a wet meadow wetland located along the intermittent stream on the west -central portion of the subject property. Wetland B is a forested swamp located on the northern
portion of the subject property south of Long Creek.
According to available historical sources, the subject property was formerly primarily undeveloped as early as 1950, but appeared to consist of several residential properties; and
remains undeveloped to present day with no structures on the subject property. Tenants on the subject property have consisting only of residential single-family home residents.
The immediately surrounding properties consist of undeveloped/vacant parcel of land to the north across Long Creek; undeveloped/vacant parcels of land and residential (single-family
homes) properties along with Fairview Drive to the south; undeveloped/vacant parcel of land to the east; and various residential and commercial properties to the west across Dallas
Bessemer City Highvoy.
The subject property is designated for 1-2 Industrial development by the City of Gastonia.

The subject property within the limits of the project is proposed to be developed with a gravel lot and office building (appro)dmately 64.49 Acres).
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The subject property has been cleared of vegetation and will be graded using heavy equipment. The area of disturbance is approArnately 64.49 Acres and will be surrounded by a
security fence and finished to grade primarily with gravel surfaces. Wetlands on the subject property will not be impacted during development. Approbmately 500 feet of ephemeral
headwaters stream is proposed to be piped underground where it is located within the area of disturbance on the subject property.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation v
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The wetlands and intermittent stream on the subject property have been avoided and will not be impacted during development. Minimization efforts
have been made to decrease the amount of disturbance to the headwater stream. In addition, minimization efforts by piping the headwater stream
underground are planned.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
An Erosion Control Plan has been implemented to avoid and minimize impact (see attached).
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?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Efforts are being made to further reduce the impact to the jurisdictional stream on the subject property to below the threshold of allowed disturbance under MNP 39. Plans are in
development by the engineers and will be submitted upon completion.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan

r Yes r- No
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
W Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
W Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
