21. Comments:
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.097
Wetland Impacts 1, 4-6, and 8-9 are associated with 0.141-acre of temporary wetland impacts necessary for retaining wall construction. Retaining walls
were utilized in the design to avoid grading into wetland areas while still providing ground stability throughout the site and reducing impacts to
jurisdictional features. All disturbed areas associated with these impacts will be stabilized and allowed to revegetate to their natural state following
completion of work in these areas.
Wetland Impact 3 will result in 0.059-acre of permanent and 0.002-acre of temporary wetland impacts associated with road fill and grading for a cul-de-
sac. This road crossing is necessary to provide ingress and egress from a dead-end road. Road alignment was determined by the location of
jurisdictional features onsite and the road crossing was placed in such a way to cross the wetland at its narrowest location.
Wetland Impact 7 will result in 0.038-acre of permanent and 0.022-acre of temporary wetland impacts associated with road fill and grading for a road
crossing. This road crossing is necessary to provide safe access between the eastern and western portion of the site. Road alignment was determined
by the location of surrounding jurisdictional features onsite and the road crossing was placed in such a way to avoid impacts to wetland areas to the
greatest extent practicable.
Wetland Impacts 2 and 10 will result in 0.014-acre and 0.016-acre, respectively of temporary wetland impacts associated with installation of a subgrade
sanitary sewer line necessary to connect the proposed development to public wastewater services. Following completion of the disturbance, the sanitary
sewer easement will be maintained, resulting in permanent conversion of the impacted wetland areas from forested to herbaceous wetland. Alignment of
the sanitary sewer was determined by the location of an existing easement and overall design of the proposed project. Further, the sanitary sewer was
placed in such a way to cross the wetland areas at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible at their narrowest portions.
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:
Impacts to jurisdictional features have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating resourceful site planning,
including utilization of the wetland/stream delineation to adjust the layout of the Site design to avoid and minimize impacts. The remaining impacts
proposed are necessary in order for the project's goals to be realized.
Impacts to jurisdictional features have been minimized through the use of retaining walls to reduce the need for grading into wetland areas to provide
stability for the proposed development. Further, roadways have been aligned to cross wetlands only where necessary, and at their narrowest portions.
The proposed sanitary sewer has been designed to cross wetland areas at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible and at their narrowest portions.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation as described in accordance with the
requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources: Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual (May 2013) and
local codes. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable ground. The contractor shall install
silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps, division ditches, temporary coffer dams, tree protection, and clearing only as necessary to install devices. All
erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once
every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is required and will
be kept by the owners representative.
Temporary seeding and permanent seeding plans are included to restore impacted areas. The project will meet all relative requirements of Best
Management Practices and Engineered Stormwater Control Structures as outlined through State and Local Stormwater Rules. Measures will be taken to
prevent oil, tar, trash, debris, and other pollutants from entering adjacent jurisdictional features. Any excess excavated materials not utilized as back fill
will be placed and contained within upland areas and permanently stabilized to prevent erosion into adjacent jurisdictional features. Therefore,
stockpiling of excavated material within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be strictly prohibited as part of the construction of this project. All project
construction activities initiated within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of
disturbance within jurisdictional waters.
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?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The proposed project will result in 0.097-acre of permanent wetland impacts associated with two road crossings. Further, while the project will result in 0.165-acre of temporary wetland
impacts, these impacts are associated with retaining wall construction and all areas will be allowed to regrow following completion of disturbance. An additional 0.030-acre of temporary
wetland impacts associated with permanent conversion of forested to herbaceous wetland are necessary for construction of a subgrade sanitary sewer pipeline. Therefore, the proposed
project is below the 0.1-acre mitigation threshold and mitigation is not proposed.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
The proposed project is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and not within a river basin or area subject to the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules or any additional municipality -
enforced riparian buffers.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
Yes No
Comments:
The proposed project has 22.32 % impervious surface and the number of proposed lots is below the maximum allowable.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? *
Yes No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
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)? *
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? *
Yes No

3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
This is a single -phased project and this permit is to provide impacts for the overall development of the site. The project will be completed with
appropriate land use control measures in place for specific areas which require them. All impacts associated with the proposed project are accounted for
herein.

Yes No
51. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
A USFWS IPaC Report listed six federally protected species as potentially occurring within the project area or a 1-mile radius, including the red -
cockaded woodpecker, American alligator, Cape Fear shiner, monarch butterfly, Saint Francis' satyr butterfly, and rough -leaved loosestrife. Critical
habitat is not reported as occurring with the project area or a 1-mile radius of the project boundaries.
The red -cockaded woodpecker requires mature pine forests that are at least 60 years old. The majority of the site has been clearcut within the past 10
years. Any remaining mature forests along the fringes of the project area are mixed hardwood -pine forest mainly associated with bottomland hardwood
forests and riverine swamps. Further, no occurrences of the species were noted during onsite investigations in October 2020 and June 2021. Therefore,
the proposed project should have no effect on the red -cockaded woodpecker.
The American alligator requires slow -moving freshwater rivers, swamps, marshes, or lakes for habitat. While the riverine swamp and bottomland
hardwood forest along the western site boundary present suitable habitat for the species, no occurrences of the American alligator were noted during
onsite investigations in October 2020 and June 2021. Further, development into the wetland complex along the wetland site boundary is not proposed.
Therefore, the proposed project should have no effect on the American alligator.
The Cape Fear shiner prefers streams with rocky substrates and slow -flowing water in pools, riffles, and runs. While Jumping Run Creek is mapped
along the western site boundary, a defined stream channel could not be identified during field investigations. No other potential stream habitats, or areas
with clear, slow -flowing water and rocky substrate were observed within the site. Therefore, the proposed project should have no effect on the Cape Fear
shiner.
The monarch butterfly requires flowering plants for foraging habitat and milkweed for breeding habitat. Due to the dense canopy and understory layers
within the site resulting from clearcutting activities, suitable habitat for the monarch butterfly was not observed within the site. Further, occurrences of the
butterfly and milkweed species were not observed during onsite investigations in October 2020 and June 2021. Therefore, the proposed project should
have no effect on the monarch butterfly.
Saint Francis' satyr butterfly requires open, grassy wetlands maintained by anthropogenic, natural, or beaver disturbance. The wetland complex along
the western site boundary could provide potentially suitable habitat for the species due to its openness and areas covered in herbaceous vegetation.
Further, the largest subpopulations of the species are known to occur on Fort Bragg, which adjoins the western site boundary. However, this wetland
area is not proposed to be disturbed during development of the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project should have no effect on Saint
Francis' satyr butterfly.
Rough -leaved loosestrife requires the ecotones between longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins for suitable habitat, neither of which are found
within the site. Further, no occurrences of the species were noted during onsite investigations in October 2020 and June 2021. Therefore, the proposed
project will have no effect on the rough -leaved loosestrife.
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's (NCNHP) online database revealed no documented occurrences of the aforementioned
species within the project area. Occurrences of the American alligator (2017), red -cockaded woodpecker (2020), and rough -leaved loosestrife are listed
within a 1-mile radius of the project boundaries. However, due to conditions within the site and the proposed design, the project should have little to no
effect on these species. Further, the NCNHP lists the Fort Bragg (Overhills Section) natural area as occurring within the site along the western boundary.
However, the proposed project will avoid this area.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)

6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?*
NOAA Essential Fish Habitat Mapper
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?*
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Preservation Office's online database (HPOWEB) revealed one historic resource as occurring within a 1-
mile radius of the proposed project limits. No historical places were listed within the site's boundaries. The historic resource, known as the Long Valley
Farm (Site ID CD0200), is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and adjoins the southeastern site boundary. The resource consists of historic
agricultural land, now out of production, and a corresponding 1930s farmhouse located approximately 0.83-mile to the south of the project area, just over
the Cumberland/Harnett County line.
The proposed project is a single and complete, low -density residential project that will not result in further development. The project is consistent with
land use in the surrounding area and all construction activities will be limited to the project boundary. Further, proposed disturbance along the boundary
the project area shares with the NRHP site is minimal, with most of the natural area left intact, reducing visibility of the proposed development from the
farmhouse located on the NRHP site. Therefore, the proposed project should have no effect on the adjoining Long Valley Farm NRHP site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?*
Yes No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
According to FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer and FIRM panel 3720050300K (effective 01/05/2006), the western site boundary occurs in Zone AE —
1 % Annual Chance Flood Hazard, associated with Jumping Run Creek, with base flood elevations of approximately 167- to 170-feet above mean sea
level. Encroachments to the floodplain associated with the project are not proposed.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?*
FEMA FIRM panel 3720050300K (effective 01/05/2007).
