2i. Comments:

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The Town of Wilsons Mills has required spacing between the buildings and minimum setbacks. We pushed these required standards as much as was
allowed to minimize the impacts as much as possible on the wetland impacts. I questioned the engineer about moving the buildings farther back and
closer together to avoid and or minimize the impacts. The engineer minimized and avoided as much as possible. Email from Dalton engineers states
"We have the units spaced at the town minimum distance apart and as close the street intersection as the town will allow. So as it stands right nowwe
cannot shift them any further down."
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The wetlands will be marked and protected by silt fence prior to construction. Care will be taken to avoid all wetlands except those permitted for
impact. Care will be taken not to allowthe wetlands be damaged by sedimentation. Care will be taken not to work near the wetlands in times of wet
weather or when precipitation is expected.
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?
