6. Buffer Impacts (for DWQ)
If project will impact a protected riparian buffer, then complete the chart below. If yes, then individually list all buffer impacts
below. If any impacts require mitigation, then you MUST fill out Section D of this form.

6i, Comments: Additional stream crossings in the project were determined to be non - buffered streams per the stream
determination dated July 17, 2012.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
All streams to be impacted are perennial streams. No wetlands are to be impacted due to this project. Stream crossings that
are to be constructed by open cutting are less than 40 LF and are to be made perpendicular to the buffered stream. Where it
is not possible to make a perpendicular crossing or where open cutting is not feasible the stream crossing shall be constructed
by directionally drilling to avoid impacts to streams.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Proper erosion control measures will be utilized, including silt fence, rock check dams, silt fence outlets, construction
entrances and tree protection fencing. Upon completion of construction through the corridor, the easement will be seeded.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
❑ Yes ® No
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
2b. if yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
❑ DWQ ❑ Corps
❑ Mitigation bank
2c, if yes, which mitigation option will be used for this project?
❑ Payment to in -lieu fee program
❑ Permittee Responsible Mitigation
