Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Not Applicable Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Not Applicable Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable,. discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Pipe replacement activities are necessary to bring the project up to current construction standards and to decrease the possibility of flooding; due to the undersized pipes. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best,Management Practices for-tile protection of wetland-and surface waters, restrictions against the staging; of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination (including_ a 'pre=corlstricwtion -meeting) ? with -the Division -Environmental Officer. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 5 of 8 USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic envirom-nent are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining -acceptability f appropriate - and-practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing-the size--of--the -project;--establishing --arid -maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete, for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on . hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at hLtp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-nv-ide.htrnl. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and -river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated; therefore, a mitigation plan is not provided. Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet. The maximum amount of impact to a single stream is 20 linear feet. No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected species or their habitats, or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. The project is not located in a High Quality Water. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Not Applicable Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Not Applicable Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable Page 6 of 8 IX.
