Impact Justification and Mitigation
1
Avoidance and Minimization
la
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The applicant was seeking resolution to erosion issues such as stream bank failure and a collapsing culvert in his back
yard This segment of stream was adjacent to existing structures and needed stabilization As a result 36 feet of culvert
was installed within the stream bed and grading activities to stabilize the area
The applicant is aware of the regional conditions associated with the Nationwide Permits 18 With respect to the
minor discharge conditions (NWP 18 Regional Conditions section 4 0) this permit is not being used in conjunction
with a NWP #14 to create uplands
1 b
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Sediment fencing will be added to protect water quality
during construction activities
2
Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U S or Waters of the State
❑ Yes ® No
Because the proposed impacts to streams are below 150
linear feet the applicant is not proposing compensatory
2a
Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
mitigation in the form of payment If however after review
impacts to Waters of the U S or Waters of the State?
of this application the USACE/NCDWQ determines
compensatory mitigation is required in the form of a
payment the applicant will utilize a private mitigation bank
or the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP)
