smeinc corn Nationwide Permit No 14 /Request for Jurisdictional Determination S &ME Project No 1054 12 048 The Reserve Subdivision Access Road March 1 2012 The location of the project area is depicted on the USGS Topographic Map (Figure 1) Person County Soil Survey Map (Figure 2) 2011 Aerial Photograph (Figure 3) included in Appendix II and the Overall Site Map (Exhibit 1) in Appendix III BACKGROUND INFORMATION The purpose of the proposed project is to provide ingress and egress for the thirty one single family residential homesites associated with The Reserve Subdivision PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS The proposed project will require a 1221f of permanent stream impact to a portion of Stream 1 located at Impact Area 2 and a combined wetland impact of 0 0015 acres located at Impact Area 1 & 2 Please refer to the attached impact maps for further information PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Protected Species S &ME's review of potential protected species habitat entailed a literature review of existing records obtained from federal and state sources to identify documented records of protected species The USFWS list of federally protected species was consulted for a listing of protected species documented within Person County North Carolina This review did not identify any protected plant species or animal species within the project area As part of the literature review S &ME also consulted the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program NCNHP Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database Virtual Workroom and Element Occurrence (EO) Database for a listing of EO s of endangered or threatened species within or near the project area This review did not identify EO s pertaining to federally protected species within a two mile radius of the project area A copy of this NWP No 14 application will be provided to the NCNHP and the U S Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) Raleigh Field Office requesting their review of records they may have in regards to the proposed project and to provide comments regarding agency interests Cultural Resources A copy of this NWP No 14 application will be provided to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requesting their review of records regarding cultural archaeological or historical resources in or near the project area and to provide written comments regarding the interests of their agency AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION The applicant surveyor and projeLt engineer located the road corridor where proposed due to topographic and property boundary constraints The proposed alignment runs down the center of a ridge approximately equal distance on either side from the edge of 2 Nationwide Permit No 14 /Request for Jurisdictional Determination S &ME Project No 1054 12 048 The Reserve Subdivision Access Road March 1 2012 water of Hyco Lake If stream flow is encountered during construction a coffer dam pump around and rock check dam will be used to prevent sedimentation of downstream portions of the impacted stream channel Following construction disturbed areas will be returned to original grade and elevation The proposed project should not result in permanent changes in pre construction elevation contours or stream dimension pattern or profile beyond those described in this application REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Following construction temporarily disturbed areas will be restored to original grade and elevation The proposed project should not result in permanent changes in pre construction elevation contours or stream dimension pattern or profile beyond those described in this application Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority will be in compliance with specifications governing the proper design installation operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices (BMP s) to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard Sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the project Impacts have been avoided and minimized and appropriate measures will be taken during construction to allow flow and circulation patterns of waters of the U S to remain unaffected After construction disturbed areas will be seeded and restored The proposed project will result in additional impervious surface however the project is a linear transportation corridor and amounts of impervious surface are calculated at 3 5 % of the project area and therefore will not exceed 24% of the project area 3 Nationwide Permit No 14 /Request for Jurisdictional Determination S &ME Project No 1054 12 048 The Reserve Subdivision Access Road March 1. 2012 CLOSING By copy of this
