Comments: The proposed project will result in 1,150-sq.ft. of Zone 1 and 127-sq.ft. of Zone 2 buffer impacts from Impact 7 (Sheet 1.7), associated with the breaching of a manmade pond's dam to drain the pond. The pond will be allowed to naturalize for at least 6 months and a new riparian buffer will be established through natural regeneration within 50-feet of any stream that naturally forms in the drained pond area. This activity is Deemed Allowable pursuant to the 15A NCAC 02b .0714 Table of Uses and does not require authorization or mitigation. The proposed project will result in 6,293-sq.ft. of Zone 1 and 4,230-sq.ft. of Zone 2 buffer impacts associated with a road crossing at Impact 3 (Sheets 1.3-1.313) and 4,608-sq.ft. of Zone 1 and 2,776-sq.ft. of Zone 2 buffer impacts associated with a road crossing at Impact 5 (Sheets 1.5-1.513). Both road crossings were aligned to cross the streams as close to 90-degrees as possible. Both road crossings will result in less than 1/3-acre of riparian buffer impacts and therefore, pursuant to the Table of Uses in 15A NCAC 02b .0714, do not require mitigation. The proposed project will result in 1,438-sq.ft. of Zone 1 and 1,013-sq.ft. of Zone 2 buffer impacts associated with sanitary sewer line installation. The sanitary sewer line has been aligned to the stream as close to a 90-degree angle as possible and will consist of a 30-ft. wide permanent maintenance corridor and a construction corridor less than 150-ft. Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 02b .0714, the buffer impacts resulting from sewer line installation do not require mitigation. The proposed project will result in a total of 11,999-sq.ft. of Zone 2 impacts associated with grading at Impacts 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (Sheets 1.11 and 1.12). Grading will only be conducted in Zone 2 and will not compromise the health of vegetation in Zone 1 or create concentrated stormwater runoff through the buffer. All disturbed areas will be stabilized and revegetated once the disturbance is complete. Therefore, pursuant 15A NCAC 02b .0714, buffer Impacts 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are Deemed Allowable and do not require mitigation. 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: 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. For this project, retaining walls and steep slopes were used as much as possible in order to reduce stream and wetland impacts. Culverts have been proposed in certain areas to maintain hydrologic connection between features and avoid indirect losses of wetlands. Stream crossings were designed to avoid sinuous portions of the streambed and to cross the stream at as much of a 90-degree angle as possible. 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 owner's 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 TII 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 u 2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply): DWR Corps 2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project? Mitigation bank Payment to in -lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation 3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank 3a. Name of Mitigation Bank: Falling Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank 3b. Credits Purchased/Requested (attach receipt and letter) Type: Quantity: Riparian wetland 0.82 3c. Comments The proposed project will result in a total of 13,489-sq.ft. (0.31-ac.) of Zone land 20,145-sq.ft. (0.46-ac.) of Zone 2 riparian buffer impacts resulting from a pond dam breaching, two road crossings, a sanitary sewer line crossing, and grading, as detailed in Section D, item 6 above. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02b .0714, all proposed riparian buffer impacts are Deemed Allowable or Allowable with Authorization and do not require mitigation. Therefore, riparian buffer mitigation is not proposed. The proposed project will result in a total of 140-I.f. (0.018-ac.) of permanent stream impacts and are below the mitigation threshold as outlined in the conditions of NWP 29 and the USACE Wilmington District's Regional General Conditions. Therefore, stream mitigation is not proposed. The proposed project will result in a total of 0.34-ac. of permanent and 0.17-ac. of temporary wetland impacts, as well as 0.01-ac. of permanent impacts to open waters. Of the 0.17-ac. of temporary wetland impacts, 0.14-ac. will result from permanent conversion from forested to herbaceous wetland. All permanent wetland impacts are proposed to be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio and the 0.14-ac. of temporary wetland impacts from permanent conversion from forested to herbaceous wetland are proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 ratio. Therefore, 0.82 wetland mitigation credits are proposed to be purchased from Wildlands Holdings' Falling Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank. 6.
