D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
_
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Grading plan was developed using maximum practicable slopes in order to minimize the footprint of the disturbed area and
thus the wetland impacts. Temporary and permanent measures will be used to limit erosion and contain sediment from
cleared areas prior to construction. The measures proposed for this site include silt fence, silt fence outlets, tree protection
fencing, gravel construction entrance, inlet protection, sediment traps, seeding measures, and check dams, as required. The
above devices will filter sediment from runoff to prevent sediment from being deposited offsite, while the temporary seeding
will limit erosion during construction activities. Once construction is complete and vegetative cover has been established,
these measures may be removed.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The project limits and wetland areas will be dearly marked prior to construction. All erosion control devices will be installed
prior to construction to minimize impacts due to land-disturbing activities. Temporary seeding will also limit erosion during
these construction activities. Erosion control measures will be maintained throughout construction and will not be removed
until all construction is complete and vegetative cover has been established.

2. Stormwater Management Plan _
2a. What is the overall percent imperviousness of this project? 34% Existing, 51% Proposed %
2b. Does this project require a Stormwater Management Plan? ® Yes ? No
2c. If this project DOES NOT require a Stormwater Management Plan, explain why:
2d. If this project DOES require a Stormwater Management Plan, then provide a brief, narrative description of the plan:
Based on discussions with staff at the Washington Office of NCDENR DWQ the stormwater treatment volume for this re-
development site is based on the volume generated by 1.5 inches of runoff from the difference between the existing and
proposed impervious area. The impervious area increase is 34,588 SF or an increase of 49%.Therefore, the required
treatment volume for the site is 4,324 CF. The Best Management Practices (BMP) for the project site is a Wet Detention
Basin (BMP) that will treat 5,424 CF of volume. Due to limited space and extremely flat terrain on the existing site only a
portion of the site will drain to the BMP. The contributing area is from Basin B. The runoff captured from this area
exceeds the required site treatment volume. This BMP collects runoff from the new impervious areas on the site to
greatest practical extent. The remaining areas will continue to discharge to existing outfalls. The project site is divided
into two sub-basins- Basin A and B, It was decided to provide the treatment for that portion of Basin B (B-2) which is
equivalent to the area that will generate the treatment volume of 4,324 CF required for the change in impervious area on
the entire site. Therefore, no treatment facility or calculations were performed for Basin A or B-1. The selected BMP for
Basin B-2 is a Wet Detention Basin (BMP). This BMP will reduce the post development flows to the pre-development
flows for 1 year/ 24 hour storm and provide treatment for 1.5 inches of runoff volume. The BMP was also designed to
control the 100 year /24 hour event and provide 1-foot freeboard from the facility. Basin B-2 is approximately 0.96 acres in
land area. The existing impervious area of the Basin B-2 is 0.20 acres and the proposed impervious area is 0.96 acres
which includes the BMP. The required treatment volume for basin B-2 is 4,966 CF. A pollutant removal efficiency of 90%
(TSS) was used to calculate surface area/drainage area ratio for permanent pool in the Coastal region since the outflow
from the (BMP) discharges into an existing surface water. The post-development discharge for the 1 year/ 24 hour storm
is 4.03 cfs which is less than the pre development discharge for the 1 year/ 24 hour storm of 4.2 cfs.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape,
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that

Matt.
'n this case, b/c the punip station is already there, and tht, impacts will be temporary and are of sur.h a small scale, I'm
nnsidering the structurf?s as existing, and therefore the new disturbance would be considered exempt, and no
mitigation will be required, h/c the area will be restoreci/returned to grass after the temporary impacts are complete.
Therefore, no PCN will be required, but if ycu'd like to in( lode this P -mad as a form of explanation for why the impacts
are exempt (hocause I'm considering them as an existing use)j. that probably would help and is OK with me.

Chris
Hope you are doing well. We spoke last week concerning the temporary buffer disturbance associated with the new
Office/Visitor Center at Lake Mattamuskeet. You mentioned that since the area being disturbed is currently grass,
mitigation would likely not be required. We also discussed that a maintenance easement should exist as the pump station
the sewer line will connect to is existing. Can you please confirm whether the temporary buffer disturbance with be
considered exempt or allowed under the Tar Pamlico buffer rules? It is my understanding that if the temporary buffer
disturbance is exempt a PCN is not required If the temporary buffer disturbance is allowed a PCN is required. Can you
please confirm it this is correct?
yanks,
Matt
