D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
B1- Utilizing existing gravel drive into sanitary sewer easement instead of creating a new entrance. Minimized radius of curve
after drive entrance to get out of buffer as quickly as possible.
B2 & 3- Realigned route to minimize disturbance. Entering buffers perpendicular to stream to minimize impact. Utilizing
elevated boardwalk in lieu of paved trail within buffer
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
B1- Utilizing existing drive into sanitary sewer easement. will enter and exit at ends of encroachment and not disturb any more
buffer area than needed for permanent condition.
B2 & 133- Minimize disturbed limits as small as possible for construction. Enter and exit perpendicular to stream from outside
of buffer area with construction equipment to minimize disturbance. Construction of elevated boardwalk will incur less land
disturbance than construction of paved trail.
