3i. Comments: Unavoidable impacts to House Creek will result from the proposed project. Permanent impacts to House Creek
will result from the replacement of an existing culvert and bank stabilization to support the proposed road widening. Temporary
impacts to House Creek will occur as a result of construction access as part of the culvert replacement and streambank
stabilization. Temporary impacts will be restored to pre -construction conditions upon completion of the proposed project.

6i. Comments: Unavoidable permanent impacts to the protected riparian buffer associated with House Creek will result from
the proposed roadway widening and sections of parallel roadway, streambank stabilization, realignment of the adjacent
greenway system, and modifications to existing utilities. Temporary impacts to House Creek buffers will occur as a result of
construction access as part of the roadway widening.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts to the streams and protected riparian buffers within the project corridor were minimized and avoided to the extent
practical. The widening will be constructed mostly within existing right-of-way and the alignment was designed to minimize
stream and buffer impacts. Where possible, grass ditches will be utilized to intercept and slow stormwater drainage, retaining
walls will be constructed to protect adjacent streams, and fill slopes have been tightened to 2:1 to avoid additional impacts to
features. The proposed culvert has been sized to allow for high -flow events and will be buried to allow aquatic movement
through the system.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to the streams and protected riparian buffers within the project corridor will be minimized to the extent practical
throughout the construction process by avoiding these features with equipment, materials, and access corridors. Where
Page 7 of 13
PCN Form —Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version
feasible, equipment staging and construction access will be located in upland areas throughout the corridor, and silt fencing
will be installed around the permitted limits of disturbance to ensure all equipment is located within the permitted areas.
Sediment control measures will be used to reduce stormwater impacts to receiving waters and minimize runoff from the
construction sites.
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?
® Yes ❑ No
2b. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
® DWQ ❑ Corps
2c. If yes, which mitigation option will be used for this project?
® Mitigation bank
® Payment to in -lieu fee program
❑ Permittee Responsible Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank: Restoration Environmental Services, LLC
3b. Credits Purchased (attach receipt and letter)
Type Buffer
Quantity 65,055 buffer credits
3c. Comments: Compensatory mitigation has been proposed for unavoidable impacts to Buffer Zone 1 at a 3:1 ratio and
Buffer Zone 2 at a 1.5:1 ratio when required by the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. To offset these losses, riparian
buffer credits have been reserved through payment to a private mitigation bank, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC. The
Statements of Availability from the mitigation banks have been included as part of this application.
4. Complete if Making a Payment to In -lieu Fee Program
4a. Approval letter from in -lieu fee program is attached.
® Yes
4b. Stream mitigation requested:
21 linear feet
4c. If using stream mitigation, stream temperature:
® warm ❑ cool ❑cold
4d. Buffer mitigation requested (DWQ only):
square feet
4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested:
acres
4f. Non -riparian wetland mitigation requested:
acres
4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested:
acres
4h. Comments: Compensatory mitigation at a 1:1 ratio has been proposed for the 21 linear feet of permanent impacts to
House Creek due to the culvert replacement. House Creek is a degraded, urban, straight perennial stream that parallels Blue
Ridge Road through much of the corridor, and eventually converges with Crabtree Creek. House Creek scored "Low" on the
attached NCSAM assessment.
Complete if Using a Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
5a. If using a permittee responsible mitigation plan, provide a description of the proposed mitigation plan.

buffer mitigation?

6g. If buffer mitigation is required, discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (e.g., payment to private mitigation bank,
permittee responsible riparian buffer restoration, payment into an approved in -lieu fee fund).
Compensatory mitigation has been proposed for unavoidable impacts to Buffer Zone 1 at a 3:1 ratio and Buffer Zone 2 at a
1.5:1 ratio when required by the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. To offset these losses, riparian buffer credits have
been reserved through payment to a private mitigation bank, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC. The Statements of
Availability from the mitigation banks have been included as part of this application.
6h. Comments: Unavoidable permanent impacts to the protected riparian buffer associated with House Creek will result from
the proposed roadway widening and sections of parallel roadway, streambank stabilization, realignment of the adjacent
greenway system, and modifications to existing utilities. According to the Neuse River Buffer Rules, impacts due
streambank stabilization, greenway/hiking trails, and non -electric utility line impacts other than perpendicular crossings in
Zone 2 only are "Allowable". Impacts due to perpendicular road crossings that impact >150 LF or >1/3 ac. and road
impacts other than crossing of streams not at an angle between 75 and 105 degrees is "Allowable with Mitigation" .
