behalf of the applicant, JVI Construction. The proposed project entails a small road widening
that will incur both stream and buffer impacts. The road widening is necessary to establish the
required ingress /egress to the proposed townhome community to be known as 55 James at
Midtown in Apex, NC.
The $240 application fee is also included herein. Please contact me at 212 -1760 if you have any

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed townhouse community layout does not impact any wetlands, streams, or buffers. The widening of James Street to accommodate the
project does incur some unavoidable impacts. The engineer has designed the road widening to minimize the amount of stream and buffer impact as
much as practicable.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
A precast head wall is being used to minimize impacts and a rip -rap dissipater will reduce velocity and minimize scour to protect downstream water
quality. All applicable erosion and sediment control measures will follow state and local regulations. Storm water runoff will be managed according to
the current requirements.
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?
❑ Yes Q No
