E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC completed and wetland delineation and Neuse River buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that
impacts could be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Impact area 1 is proposed permanent and temporary wetland impacts for
a grass drainage swale. The swale is being constructed near the southern most portion of the property boundary and was placed as far south of the
wetland to minimize impacts to the maximum extent practicable. Where the impacts are occurring, the swale will be constructed shallow to keep the
swale width narrow and lessen the impacts. The side slopes will be at a 3:1 ratio to help in the establishment of vegetation along with for maintenance.
Per the project engineer, this has been recommended in the past from NCDEMLR-land quality section during erosion control review and approval. In
addition, Lots 16 and 17 were designed large enough to allow a dwelling and septic system while avoiding impacts to wetland W4. Impact 2 is
proposed permanent and temporary stream and buffer impacts for a road crossing. This crossing is necessary to connect the southern portion of the
development with the northern portion. The crossing is occurring perpendicular to the stream & riparian buffer and will utilize head walls and Wng walls
to minimize stream and riparian buffer impacts. A riprap dissipator is proposed that will assist in reducing flow velocities and minimize stream
degradation. It should also be noted that the crossing will be constructed under dry conditions using a pump around. Impacts 3 & 4 are proposed
permanent open water impacts for ditch fill. The existing ditches will be filled and rerouted to the proposed grass lined swale E. Per the project
engineer, these existing ditches have vertical side slopes which make it difficult to maintain. The proposed swale will be located up gradient of the
proposed culvert that is located under Chip Place Road and will have 3:1 side slopes to help with stomwmter filtration. All other wetlands, Holland
Branch and riparian buffers along Holland Branch have been avoided.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
During the construction, sediment fencing, skimmer basins, straw/net liner within ditches and straw wattles will be used to prevent impacts. Coffer dams
and pump around will be used to construct the proposed storm drainage pipe in Stream B on Mary Katherine Drive.
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?
r Yes
r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.10 of an acre and permanent stream impacts are less than 0.02 of an acre.
u
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)

r Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
r Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer

r Yes r No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater
program?
r Yes
r WA - project disturbs < 1 acre

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
r No
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
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 Arthur's Creek project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the town of Goldsboro
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. 3) the Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires
protective riparian buffers; We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r Nor WA
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)

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
October 1, 2021. S&EC has not received a response from the USFWS that they concurred with the determinations made by S&EC that the proposed
actions is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species
