E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The project utilizes an epsting crossing over Little Beaver Creek to minimize stream impacts. Site design overall has avoided and minimized wetland
and stream impacts as much as possible. Road Impact Area 4 crosses between two wetlands resulting in only 22 square feet of impact

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Wing walls and engineered fill slopes have been designed to minimize wetland and stream impacts. All applicable ESC measures will be used
throughout the construction period.
