D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The project has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts to the maximum extent practicable. The location of the tributary
results in unavoidable impacts that are necessary to achieve the project purpose, and impacts have been minimized to a low -
quality feature that has been previously impacted. All other aquatic resources are avoided under the current site plan.
Approximately 2,595 linear feet of stream, 0.51 acres of open waters (pond), and 2.715 acres of wetlands are avoided.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be used for the duration of project construction to minimize impacts to
downstream aquatic resources. Stormwater BMPs will be used to minimize impacts to water quality as a result of the project,
and are expected to result in positive benefits to water quality overall.
