FE. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC completed and wetland and stream delineation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided
and minimized to the maAmum extent practicable. Impact area 1 is proposed permanent wetland and stream impacts for a road crossing. This road
crossing is necessary access the entire property from Highway 96. Wing walls will be utilized to minimize impacts to wetlands to the maAmum extent
practicable. Compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio is proposed to offset permanent wetland losses.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Silt fencing will be utilized along with inlet/outlet protection to minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques.

r Yes r No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
U
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
r Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs' document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural
and silvicultural operations. The Winston Ridge Phase 4 project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the town of
Youngsville ETJ, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream
waters: 1) the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area,
in addition Best Management Practices may be required that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater
Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post -construction
stormwater management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.

S&EC completed a Threatened & Endangered Species Report, to include a Self -Certification letter through the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), a
query through the NC Natural Heritage Program database, and an official Species List through the iPac. A formal request was sent to the USFWS on
July 6, 2021. The USFWS has 30 days to respond from the date of the sent request. S&EC received no response from USFWS within the 30 days
