Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet: 31. Total permanent stream impacts: 141 31. Total stream and ditch impacts: 226 3j. Comments: 31. Total temporary stream impacts: 85 Unavoidable impacts to streams S9 and S11 will result from the proposed project. At Site 1, stream S9 will be impacted as a result of the construction of a permanent access road to the proposed solar facility substation. Proposed permanent impacts to stream S9 will result from the installation of culvert associated with the permanent access road crossing. Additionally, rip rap dissipater pads will be installed for inlet/outlet protection and will be keyed in to the bank and bed of stream S9 resulting in permanent impacts to the stream, but no net loss of waters. At Site 2, stream S11 will be impacted as a result of the construction of a permanent access road necessary for the solar array. Proposed permanent impacts to stream S11 will result from the installation of culvert associated with the permanent access road crossing. Additionally, rip rap will be installed for inlettoutlet protection and will be keyed into the bank and bed of stream S11 resulting in permanent impacts to the stream, but no net loss of waters. The culverts will be buried and are designed to allowfor the movement of aquatic species. Proposed temporary impacts to streams S9 and S11 will result from temporary access to facilitate the construction of the road crossing and the installation of the culvert and riprap. To allow for construction access and installation of the culvert and riprap, streams S9 and S11 will be temporarily diverted with the use of a pump -around system. All temporary disturbance areas will be returned to pre -construction contours after completion of the project. 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: Impacts to the streams and wetlands within the project area have been avoided and minimized to the greatest extent practical by intentional design. Impacts to wetlands have been completely avoided through project design. Necessary impacts to both streams S9 and S11 were minimized to the extent practical by aligning the access road crossings over the streams to be as close to perpendicular as possible. Headwalls have been proposed as part of the design to reduce culvert length, therefore reducing stream impacts. Riprap at the culvert inlets and outlets will be keyed in to the stream banks and bed at both impact sites to ensure no net loss of waters and provide long term protection at the inlet and outlet sites. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Impacts to streams within the project area will be minimized to the extent practical throughout the construction process by avoiding stream features with equipment, materials, and access corridors whenever possible. Staging and construction access routes have been located in upland areas throughout the study area to the extent possible, 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? r Yes r No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: The project proposes to permanently impact 141 linear feet of stream bed, of which 42 linear feet will result in no net loss of jurisdictional waters. Due to the minimal streambed that will be lost as a result of the project, no compensatory mitigation has been proposed. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? r? Yes r No If no, explain why: The project is located within the Broad River Basin. 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?* r Yes r No 2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15ANCAC 02H .1003(2)? r- Yes r No 2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program? r Yes r No r N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre 2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply: W Local Government r State Local Government Stormwater Programs r Phase II r NSW r USMP V Water Supply Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using. Cleveland County Comments: Stormwater management within the Site will be controlled by improvements to the land cover within the Site by converting the current wooded/agricultural land cover into a meadow state. This change will improve the Site's runoff volume in order to handle and treat stormwater in the Site's post -development condition. During construction, temporary sediment basins and temporary skimmer basins will be used. Any necessary stormwater permits will be secured through Cleveland County prior to construction. G. Supplementary Information i 1. Environmental Documentation la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?* r- Yes r No 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? * r- Yes r No 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?* r- Yes r No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. The proposed project is a single and complete project. No additional development is anticipated as a result of the proposed project. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?* r Yes r- Nor NtA 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* r- Yes r No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?* r- Yes f• No 5d.

Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.? r Yes r No 5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Element Occurrence Database (updated October 2020) identified no recent known occurrences of any federally listed species within the project study area or within 1.0 mile of the project. However, one historical occurrence (1917) of Michauxis sumac was identified within a 1.0-mile radius of the project study area. Michauxis sumac has been assumed extirpated in this area and is no longer listed on the USFWS County List for Cleveland County. Due to the minimal impact to natural areas and overall nature of the proposed project, it is anticipated that the project will have no effect on any federally protected species. Consultation Documentation Upload 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?* r Yes r No 6b.

USE A SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRIC OF AT LEAST 95% BY WEIGHT OF POLYOLEFINS OR POLYESTER, WHICH IS CERTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER AS CONFORMING TO THE REQUIREMENTS IN ASTM D 6461. SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRIC SHOULD CONTAIN ULTRAVIOLET RAY INHIBITORS AND STABILIZERS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 6 MONTHS OF EXPECTED USABLE CONSTRUCTION LIFE AT A TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 0 TO 120LIF. 2. ENSURE THAT POSTS FOR SEDIMENT FENCES ARE 1.25 LB/LINEAR FT MINIMUM STEEL WITH A MINIMUM LENGTH OF 5 FEET. MAKE SURE THAT STEEL POSTS HAVE PROJECTIONS TO FACILITATE FASTENING THE FABRIC. 3. FOR REINFORCEMENT OF STANDARD STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC, USE WIRE FENCE WITH A MINIMUM 14 GAUGE AND A MAXIMUM MESH SPACING OF 6 INCHES. CONSTRUCTION 1. CONSTRUCT THE SEDIMENT BARRIER OF STANDARD STRENGTH OR EXTRA STRENGTH SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRICS. 2. ENSURE THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE SEDIMENT FENCE DOES NOT EXCEED 24 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND SURFACE. (HIGHER FENCES MAY IMPOUND VOLUMES OF WATER SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STRUCTURE.) 3. CONSTRUCT THE FILTER FABRIC FROM A CONTINUOUS ROLL CUT TO LENGTH OF THE BARRIER TO AVOID JOINTS. WHEN JOINTS ARE NECESSARY, SECURELY FASTEN THE FILTER CLOTH ONLY AT A SUPPORT POST WITH 4 FEET MINIMUM OVERLAP TO THE NEXT POST. 4. SUPPORT STANDARD STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC BY WIRE MESH SUPPORT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRENCH. FASTEN THE WIRE REINFORCEMENT, THEN FABRIC ON THE UPSLOPE SIDE OF THE FENCE POST. WIRE OR PLASTIC ZIP TIES SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM 50 POUND TENSILE STRENGTH. 5. WHEN A WIRE MESH SUPPORT FENCE IS USED, SPACE POSTS A MAXIMUM OF 8 FEET APART. SUPPORT POSTS SHOULD BE DRIVEN SECURELY INTO THE GROUND A MINIMUM OF 24 INCHES. 6. EXTRA STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC WITH 6 FEET POST SPACING DOES NOT REQUIRE WIRE MESH SUPPORT FENCE. SECURELY FASTEN THE FILTER FABRIC DIRECTLY TO POSTS. WIRE OR PLASTIC ZIP TIES SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM 50 POUND TENSILE STRENGTH. 7. EXCAVATE A TRENCH APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES WIDE AND 8 INCHES DEEP ALONG THE PROPOSED LINE OF POSTS AND UPSLOPE FROM THE BARRIER. 8. PLACE 12 INCHES OF THE FABRIC ALONG THE BOTTOM AND SIDE OF THE TRENCH. 9. BACKFILL THE TRENCH WITH SOIL PLACED OVER THE FILTER FABRIC AND COMPACT. THOROUGH COMPACTION OF THE BACKFILL IS CRITICAL TO SILT FENCE PERFORMANCE. 10. DO NOT ATTACH FILTER FABRIC TO EXISTING TREES. MAINTENANCE INSPECT SEDIMENT FENCES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AFTER EACH RAINFALL. MAKE ANY REQUIRED REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY. SHOULD THE FABRIC OF A SEDIMENT FENCE COLLAPSE TEAR DECOMPOSE OR BECOME INEFFECTIVE REPLACE IT PROMPTLY. REMOVE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STORAGE VOLUME FOR THE NEXT RAIN AND TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON THE FENCE. TAKE CARE TO AVOID UNDERMINING THE FENCE DURING CLEANOUT. REMOVE ALL FENCING MATERIALS AND UNSTABLE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AND BRING THE AREA TO GRADE AND STABILIZE IT AFTER THE CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREA HAS BEEN PROPERLY STABILIZED.
