permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See Attached Schedule A
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
Page 9 of 12

necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that maybe appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http•//h2o enr state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
_ _preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, _conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The impacts have been reduced from 0.48 acres to 0.1 acre. The impacts are the
minimum to allow the project to be constructed and a lame wetland area remains. The
impacts will not reduce the function of the wetlands.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

Schedule A
VII Impact Justification
The original construction plans were prepared from a wetland map furnished by a soil
scientist. The delineation had not been completed as we had thought it to be and had not
been reviewed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The original plan design was an
isolated upland through an area not mapped as wetland at the grade break for two
drainage areas. The contractor cleared the uplands within the street right of way up to the
obvious wetland boundary and found the fill would be greater than if the street location
was moved southward to the narrow crossing of the newly identified wetland boundary.
The fill across the wetland area will serve two purposes. 1.) It will allow access to seven
residential lots west of the wetland boundary. 2.) The placement of a pipe will act as an
overflow for either side of the drainage boundary and maintain continuity between the
wetland boundaries. The minimization of impacts result by relocating the street to a less
impacted wetland crossing. All lots have been re-configured so that their use does not
depend on fill placement. No fill at site one is proposed outside the street right of way.
The road crossing impact was reduced from 0.4 acres to 0.032 acres. Area two impact
has been reduced from0.08 acres to 0.068 acres. The Onslow County zoning ordinance
requires a right of way be extended to the adjacent property owners. The original plan
was prepared without the knowledge of the wetland being present at the end of Sun
Street. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has required aturn-a-round be
installed at the end of Sun Street. Lot 19 will have overburden placed on it and fill in the
wetlands is needed to provide a stable slope for the fill and to provide the turn-a-round at
the end of the street.
The original Nationwide permit request impacted 0.48 acres because the street excavation
would generate approximately 9000 cubic yards of overburden material. The street
grades have been raised to reduce the overburden volume and minimize the impacts for
fill areas. The lots have been identified by builders for purchase, and a redesign would
not lessen the impact any more than the plan as shown.
