E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Due to the location of the on site streams and wetland, opportunities to avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters associated with
the proposed development were limited through location/orientation of the proposed trunk line and minimizing the temporary and permanent access
widths of the proposed working corridors. Temporary stream impacts will be restored as indicated in the included Stream Bank Stabilization Detail.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:

Construction techniques Will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
