4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the development is to construct a 65,700-SF warehouse for B & F Ceramics. The development also includes two pad sites, 27,000-SF and 33,000-SF for future
retail/commercial uses. In addition, site improvements include driveway access to Boylston Highway, vehicular parking, loading dock, interior access drives, infrastructure improvements,
landscaping, lighting, and stormwater management measures.

The proposed project will introduce approximately 6.18 acres of impervious cover to the 12.51-acre site or 49.4 % of built upon area. impervious cover. Stormwater management measures
include the construction of two bioretention cells that will collect stormwater from the newly created impervious areas introduced by the project. Design of the stormwater management
measures meet State design standards and will be reviewed and approved by the Town of Mills River. Mills River has been delegated authority to review the proposed stormwater
management measures by the State.
The development will be constructed via standard construction procedures. Proper erosion and sediment control measures would be utilized and maintained throughout the project. Typical
materials and machinery will be used on -site during the construction process.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
WGLA Engineering was tasked with avoiding/minimizing impacts to onsite wetland and stream resources, while balancing grading and minimizing export
of fill from the site. Due to extensive grading required to create level building pad sites for the warehouse and retail/commercial buildings, extensive
export of fill would be required, and the development deemed financially infeasible. As a result of balancing fill and minimizing export, impacts to
wetlands/streams were unavoidable.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Appropriate construction techniques will be used, and erosion control measures will be implemented to minimize siltation, sedimentation, and other
impacts. Efforts will be made before, during, and after construction to minimize the extent and duration of project -related disturbances to downstream
water resources.
The construction techniques shall be conducted in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources standards.
Temporary and additional erosion control measures shall be maintained throughout the construction process. Silt fencing will be placed at the bottom of
the slopes to deter sediment and erosion control during roadway development activities. Temporary erosion, sedimentation, and pollution controls will be
installed prior to and maintained during the entire construction duration and until final stabilization is established.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
