The proposed project involves the construction of a mixed -use research laboratory center. Retail and restaurant space will serve research laboratory employees. One single -story and four
5-story buildings, two 5-story parking garages, associated public and private roadway access, open space areas, bike parking, sidewalks, and a walking path are proposed.
Mass grading of the site will impact one isolated wetland and a linear, jurisdictional wetland. Heavy equipment typical for road construction, utility installation, and grading will be used to

While at McAdams in January and April 2021, Jennifer Burdette delineated the western and easternmost lots of the project, respectively. Soil & Environmental Consultants delineated the
middle portion of the project area in late 2020. AJDs were issued for all but the easternmost parcel under the NWPR. An updated AJD/PJD request was submitted to the USACE under
separate cover. The Jurisdictional Determination Map is attached (Figure 4).
The Town of Morrisville completed stream determinations for the project with one appeal to DWR (#20210921). There are no streams or riparian buffers on the project site.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation u
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The applicant requested a delineation of surface waters and wetlands prior to designing the site plan to avoid and minimize impacts to these resources.
The size and configuration of the wetland situated within the project area make avoidance impractical.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project will be developed and approved by the Town of Morrisville. The project will also comply with the
supplementary NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000).
