3. Project Description
3a. 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 Proiect Site is situated on a 127.29 -acre DroDertv that contains an active horse equestrian center within the
southern Portion of the DroDerty boundary, along N Oxford Street. The northern Pasture area of the vropertv
comprises the approximately 27.8 -acre Proiect Site. Lvle Creek runs along the northern border of the Protect Site,
flowing from west to east. Mapped floodolain and floodway. along Lvle Creek, extends onto the Proiect Site (see
FloodDlain Map). A narrow area of forested vegetation occupies the western side of the Proiect Site bordered by
Rock Barn Road: a municiDal sewer PumD station (City of Claremont) and gravel access road are located on the
western fringe of the DroDertv. A sewer line easement follows the northern edqe of the pasture alonq Lvle Creek. The
eastern and southern sides of the Proiect Site are covered in mature forested veqetation. Two intermittent
iurisdictional tributaries to Lvle Creek (UT -1, UT -2 Lvle Creek) are located on the Proiect Site. Two wetland units
(AW. BW) have been identified within the Proiect Site (see Wetland Delineation Map). Surrounding areas consist of
farmland intermixed with single- familv residential land -uses. The Rock Barn Golf Club is situated across Rock Barn
Road northwest of the Proiect Site.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.39 -acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 3,070 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the Proposed oroiect is to construct a solar energv farm, Providinq an alternative enerqv Production
source. The Proiect Area is not currently in use and Rock Barn ProDerties, Inc. would like to take advantaqe of the
moderatelv sloDed and open land as a viable resource.

3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Rock Barn Solar Farm Proiect proposes to build an approximately 28 -acre solar farm within an open pasture area on
the northern section of the Rock Barn Equestrian Center property.
Proposed work initially involves the aradina of the site to establish Droper slope aspect ratio for the solar arrays to
function efficiently. Access to the site will be established from an existing qravel drive at Rock Barn Road in the
northwestern corner of the property which crosses an existing 42" CPP in UT -2 Lyle Creek. A permanent gravel
access road (Approx. 4000 If) is proposed to be built beainnina from this location south alona UT -2 Lyle Creek and
turninq east alonq the entire southern Proiect Area boundary (See Sheet C -101).
One temporary sediment basin and two temporary sediment traps (See Temporary Sediment Basin Detail) are proposed
to collect and discharae stormwater to Wetland Units AW and BW. Temporary diversion ditch lines (See Temporary
Diversion Ditch Detail) will be created durina initial aradina to divert stormwater flow away from surface waters and
into the sediment basin, and two sediment traps (See Sheet C -103). A large (Approx. 900 I.f.) permanent qrass swale
with rip rap outlet protection (See Outlet Protection Detail) is planned in the southwestern corner of the Proiect Area
runnina parallel along the southern edae of the proposed aravel access road (See Sheets C -101, C -103, C -104). The
proposed purpose of this swale is to prevent erosion and sedimentation during and post construction by divertinq
offsite stormwater flow away from the construction area and into Wetland Unit AW.
Approximately 147 linear feet of permanent impacts to UT -2 Lyle Creek (Stream Impact S -1) will result from aradina
practices and construction of the gravel access road. Approximately 130 linear feet of UT -2 Lyle Creek is proposed
to be placed in 48" HDPE pipe with an additional 17 feet impacted by proposed rip rap outlet protection (See Outlet
Protection Detail) and headwall construction (See Headwall Detail). A pump around diversion mechanism will be
used durina pipe, headwall, and outlet protection installation to ensure that all work is completed in the dry (See
Impact Map).
Approximately 0.04 -acres of permanent impacts to Wetland Unit BW (Wetland Impact W -1) are planned due to fill caused
by aradina practices, access road construction, and headwall and HDPE pipe installation. Approximately 190 linear
feet of 24" HDPE pipe with washed stone embedment (See HDPE Pipe Detail) is proposed to maintain drainaqe. If
necessary. a pump around diversion mechanism will be used during pipe, headwall, and outlet protection installation
to ensure that all work is completed in the dry (See Impact Map).
Once mass aradina is completed, disturbed slopes will be stabilized with erosion control mattina or mulch (See Slope
Stabilization Details). Stream and wetland disturbed areas will be seeded with native erosion control seed mixes and
all other areas will be seeded with a fescue blend seed mix. Permanent stormwater measures including qrass
swales, rip rap outlets, and a bioretention cell will be constructed (See Sheet C -101) to maintain proper surface
drainage and erosion control throuqhout the life of the Droiect.
Typical construction excavation equipment will be utilized in grading activities including track hoes, dump trucks, and
bulldozers.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Disturbance is limited to proposed areas for solar farm arrav construction, erosion control measures, and access roads.
Arrays designed at maximum heiqht and minimum spacing within efficiencv and cost parameters to limit impacts from
grading. All tributaries on the Proiect Site maintain a 30' buffer. All construction activities desioned outside of Floodwav
boundarv. A vegetative buffer is proposed for the non - forested boundaries of the Proiect Area. Permanent grass swales
and rip -rap outlets desioned to control stormwater and reduce sedimentation of drainaqe areas.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Disturbed areas will quickly be stabilized with erosion control matting where necessary and native erosion control seed
mixes. No sediment and erosion control measures in stream channel. A diversion will be used at stream impact S -1 so
that all work will occur in the drv. Silt fence and temporary diversion ditches will be utilized throuqhout the construction
process to control stormwater flow and reduce sedimentation from within the Proiect Area and from offsite sources. Rip
rap outlet protection will be installed to prevent sedimentation and erosion impacts to existing streams and wetlands.

MAP INFORMATION
The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:15,800.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line
placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting
soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.
Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service
Web Soil Survey URL: hftp : / /websoilsurvey.nres.usda.gov
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal -area conic projection, should be used if more accurate
calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA -NRCS certified data as of
the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Catawba County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 15, Sep 9, 2014
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000
or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Oct 22, 2010 —Apr 30,
2011
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting
of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Explain:
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TIJW and that typically flows year -round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e g, typically 3 months)
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III F

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections M.A.1 and 2
and Section IH.D.L; otherwise, see Section M.B below.

that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year -round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section IH.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
