4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The Yadkin River passes through the property and is bordered by river -bottom pastureland currently planted in fescue. The site is located in a bend in the river where turbulent waters have
eroded an excess of 300 feet of the shoreline.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to build up and stabilize the remaining shoreline to prevent further loss. This project will improve water quality in the Yadkin River by stabilizing eroding banks
and reestablishing aquatic habitat along the bank.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
This project is designed using a woody toe stabilization technique that utilizes logs with root wads, laps and limbs to stabilize the stream bank. This type of stabilization utilizes heavy
equipment including excavators, dump trucks and skid steer loaders. The project is approximately 300 linear feet and will include the installation of a woody toe, bankfull bench, and fill
material to re -build the eroded bank.

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:
In order to stabilize the banks, some impact is necessary, but it will be terminated at the first stable location.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The trajectory of the active flow will be diverted from the bank using waste blocks to allow for still water directly adjacent to the bank. The work will be
done such that no new bank grading will be started that cannot be finished in the same work day. In addition, temporary stabilization measures will be
installed at the end of each work day.
