Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization u 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: S&EC completed a wetland delineation so that natural resources could be identified and impacts minimized to the maximum extent practicable. The crossing is required in order to provide vehicular access to a single family residence on an existing lot of record. The crossing has been designed utilizing 2:1 side slopes and a minimum driveway width with headwalls in order to minimize the impact to the stream. The existing terrain on the site is steep and the driveway slope has been designed at the maximum slope practical to meet NCDOT requirements and industry standards to minimize the overall height of the crossing. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: The crossing has been designed utilizing 2:1 side slopes and a minimum driveway width with headwalls in order to minimize the impact to the stream 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: 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 What type of SCM are you providing? Level Spreader Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) Wetland Swale (higher SHWT) Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer 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: G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/statellocal) funds or the use of public (federallstate) 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)? x Yes No I 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. 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 663 Governors Club project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within Chatham County, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters:l) the Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian buffers; 2) The Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) U 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?* Yes No N/A 4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant. This lot will be served by the Governors Club Private sewer system that is permitted by DWR. The tap is up at Cherry Dr. The line from the home to the tap, along with all the other utilities, will cross the stream alongside/under the driveway 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* Yes No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?* Yes No 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* Yes No Unknown Se. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? Yes No 5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.? Yes No 5g. Does this project involve bridge maintenance or removal? Yes No 5h. Does this project involve the construction/installation of a wind turbine(s)?* 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? The NC Natural Heritage Programs Data Explorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of federally protected species listed within and within 1-mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that there are no elemental occurrences that are listed as federally Threatened/Endangered within or within 1-mile of the project boundaries.
