D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation
be conducted
so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized. Proposed impacts have
been
minimized to only impacts necessary for construction of the new SCM and sanitary
sewer
easement. There are no proposed wetland or stream impacts for the proposed
impacts. The
proposed SCM outfall is designed to not cause erosion through the riparian buffer or
cause erosion
to the receiving stream.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Access during construction will occur from uplands where possible and will be
restricted to the project corridor as defined within the impact exhibits. Silt fencing will
be installed around all disturbed areas to prevent loss of sediment into adjacent
waters.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan

1a. What type of SCM are you providing?*
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen
