D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
All impacts arisen from the installation of the culvert and the open cut trenching and excavation for the sewer line will be minimized with proper use of
erosion and sedimentation control measures. The shortest possible length of linear feet stream impacts were considered when designing the route of
the sewer line during design.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction activities will take place only where the culvert installation and sewer line crossing are proposed. No other impacts to the stream are
anticipated.

Givens Highland Farms —Campus Redevelopment Phase 2
Buncombe County, NC
SECTION B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to install one 7-linear-foot (LF) section of a 4- x 8-foot opening
culvert on the Givens Highland Farms campus and an 8-inch main sewer line crossing.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project will include the installation of one 7-LF section of a 4- x 8-foot opening precast
concrete box culvert buried at a depth of 1 foot below the creek bed and a Redi-Rock block
headwall. An aerial 8-inch sewer main crossing will also be installed upstream of the culvert
crossing. Construction equipment to be used includes an excavator, a crane and/or back hoes
to place the culvert and piping, and track trucks to haul out any additional material.
Although not addressed in the PCN, as all associated impacts will be outside of the 30-foot
buffer, a covered pedestrian bridge will be constructed spanning the tributary approximately
above the culvert and sewer crossing.
5a/b. Have permits or certifications been requested or obtained for this project (including all
prior phases) in the past? If yes, explain in detail.
Yes. There have been permits obtained on the Givens Highland Farms property in the past;
they are described below.
Meadowmont Phase 1 involved the replacement of an existing culvert in an unnamed tributary
to the Swannanoa River under NWP 29 (Action ID 2015-01579). The existing culvert was
22 LF and was replaced with a 36-LF concrete box culvert. The total impact was 14 LF. The
application was submitted on May 20, 2015, and the issue date was July 29, 2015. Close-out
documentation was submitted to the USACE Asheville Regional Office on March 2, 2016.
Meadowmont Phase 2 involved a second additional culvert replacement on the same
unnamed tributary as Phase 1. Permit verification was received under the same NWP and
Action ID noted above. The existing culvert was 14 LF and was replaced with a 48-LF concrete
box culvert. The total impact was 34 LF. The application was submitted on March 17, 2016,
and was granted approval on May 3, 2016.
Meadowmont Phase 3 involved the installation of a third culvert and a sidewalk built over top
of the culvert crossing a stream. The precast concrete box culvert installed was 16 LF; thus
the total impact was 16 LF. The application was submitted on March 16, 2018, and the issue
date was May 4, 2018.
The Wagon Trail Culvert replacement project included the demolition of an existing 48-inch
diameter corrugated metal pipe culvert and the installation of a 35-LF 4- x 8-foot opening
precast concrete box culvert buried at a depth of 1 foot below the creek bed and a Redi-Rock
block headwall. The PCN application for NWP 29 was submitted on April 23, 2021, but USACE

PCN Submittal
Givens Highland Farms —Campus Redevelopment Phase 2
Buncombe County, NC
informed Givens that the work fell under NWP3specifications and no PCN was required. Thus
the installation occurred.
See Attachment B for the permit verification documents and tracking for prior projects.
6a/b. Is this a phased project?
Yes, further demolition will occur of existing buildings on campus with construction of new
apartment buildings in the same general area to expand the residential capacity of the
campus.

Due to workload and staffing constraints, we were unable to provide timely formal written verification for impacts
proposed in your preconstruction notification application (PCN) received in our office on March 17, 2016. General
Condition number 13, which lists the notification requirements for nationwide permits, states that "the prospective
permittee shall not begin the activity unless 45 days have passed from the District Engineer's receipt of the complete
notification and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the District or Division Engineer."
Your permit modification is granted for 46 additional feet of culvert impact. Please note that your work is authorized by
the above referenced permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the permit conditions and your
submitted plans. Any violation of the conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to a
stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal action.

Subject: Federally Listed Species Assessment for a Proposed Residential Development (Givens Highland
Farms Development), located at 200 Tabernacle Road, in Black Mountain, Buncombe County, North
Carolina
Dear Ms. Foy:
On February 27, 2015, we received a letter (via e-mail) from you requesting our review and comments on
the subject project. We have reviewed the information presented and are providing the following
comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667c), and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description — According to the information that you presented, your client is proposing to
construct an independent living residential community in Black Mountain, North Carolina. The site
currently consists of open agricultural fields. A small un-named stream transects the project site. The
project will consist of constructing residential units and a new access road. Construction of the access
road will require the replacement of the existing culvert stream crossing of the un-named stream that
crosses the property.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to our records and a review of the information you provided, no federally listed species or their
habitats occur on the subject site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently
modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical
habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Stream and Welland Buffers
Because there are aquatic resources within the project area, we want to emphasize that stringent measures
to control sediment and erosion should be implemented prior to any ground disturbance and should be
maintained throughout project construction. Disturbed areas should be reseeded with seed mixtures that
are beneficial to wildlife. Fescue -based mixtures should be avoided. Native annual small grains

appropriate for the season are preferred and recommended. Also, perimeter erosion -control devices
should be installed prior to any on -the -ground activities. Frequent maintenance of these devices is critical
to their proper function in order to minimize sediment discharge from the project site.
One of the most important and effective measures that can be taken to protect the health of aquatic
resources is the preservation of riparian buffers. Wide, contiguous riparian buffers have greater and more
flexible potential than other options to maintain biological integnity' and can ameliorate many ecological
issues related to land use and environmental quality! Riparian buffers accomplish the following:
I . catch and filter runoff, thereby preventing nonpoint-source pollutants from reaching streams;
2. enhance the in -stream processing of both point- and nonpoint-source pollutants;
3. act as "sponges" by absorbing runoff (which reduces the seventy of floods) and, by allowing
runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels, maintains stream flows during dry
periods;
4. catch and help prevent excess woody debn*s from entering the stream and creating logjams;
5. stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel morphology;
6. provide coarse woody debn*s for habitat structure and most of the dissolved organic carbon
and other nutrients necessary for the aquatic food web; and
7. maintain air and water temperatures around the stream.
For most projects, we recommend the maintenance or establishment of minimum 100-foot native forested
buffers along each side of perennial streams and 50-foot native forested buffers along each side of
intermittent streams and wetlands throughout the present and future service areas of the entire municipal
3
jurisdiction. We additionally encourage the implementation of buffers on ephemeral streams due to the
important functions they provide as headwater streamS.4,5 Buffers should be measured horizontally
6
from the edge of the stream bank, which may result in wider buffers at higher gradients, and must be
provided over the entire length of the stream, including headwater streams, springs, and seeps. Further,
we recommend leaving 30 percent of the development area as green space, which would include buffers
and wetlands and ensure that the green space is connected to aquatic resources.
Stream Crossings - Roads
We recommend avoiding and minimizing the number of stream/wetland crossings. Use bridges (sized so
as not to constrict the active channel and in consideration of flood flows) for all permanent roadway
crossings of streams and associated wetlands. We recommend the use of spanning structures because

they minimize impacts to aquatic resources, allow for the movement of aquatic organisms, and eliminate
the need to fill and install culverts. All stream crossings should be made perpendicular to the stream in
areas where banks are stable (i.e., niffle reaches). If culverts are the only option, we suggest using
bottomless culverts, or squash pipes, embedded within the channel substrate. Any type of culvert that is
used should be designed to allow for the passage of fish and other aquatic life. Culverts should be sized
to accommodate the movement of debn*s and bed material within a channel during a bank -full event. We
recommend the use of multiple barrels (other than the base -flow barrel), placed on or near stream
bank -full or floodplain bench elevation in order to accommodate floodwaters within the stream corridor.
These should be reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by using
sills on the upstream end to restrict or divert flow to the base -flow barrel(s). Sufficient water depth
should be maintained in the base -flow barrel during low flows to accommodate fish movement. Culvert
length should be minimized to the extent possible.
During both utility and road construction activities, equipment should be kept out of streams by operating
from the banks in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment should be
inspected daily and should be maintained in order to prevent the contamination of surface waters from
leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. All fuels, lubricants, and other toxic
materials should be stored outside the riparian area of the stream, in a location where the material can be
contained. Equipment should be checked for leaks of hydraulic fluids, cooling system liquids, and fuel
and should be cleaned before fording any stream. In addition, all fueling operations should be
accomplished at least 200 feet away from streams and wetlands or outside the 100-year floodplain
(whichever is greater).
Storm -water Management
An increase in development (residential, commercial, and industrial) results in a concomitant increase in
impervious surface area and thus a similar relational increase in storm -water runoff. Impervious surfaces
(such as roofs, roads, and parking lots) collect pathogens, metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants and
quickly transmit them (via storm -water runoff) to receiving waters. According to the Environmental
Protection Agency, this nonpoint-source pollution is one of the major threats to water quality in the
United States, posing one of the greatest threats to aquatic life, and is linked to chronic and acute illnesses
in human populations from exposure through drinking water and contact recreation. Increased
storm -water runoff also directly damages aquatic and niparii an habitat, causing stream -bank and
stream -channel scouring. In addition, impervious surfaces reduce groundwater recharge, resulting in even
lower than expected stream flows during drought periods that can induce potentially catastrophic effects
for fish, mussels and other aquatic life.
Best management practices can reduce, but not eliminate, pollutant loadings of common storm -water
pollutants. Designs that collect runoff and allow it to infiltrate the soil have the highest documented
pollutant -removal efficiency, eliminating nearly all lead, zinc, and solids and more than 50 percent of
total phosphorous. Ponds and wetlands, which allow contaminants to settle out of the water column or be
broken down by sunlight and biological activity, can remove more than 70 percent of bacteria. Where
detention ponds are used, storm -water outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any
natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of
storm water, attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm -water surges; thermal spikes; and sediment,
nutrient, and chemical discharges. Also, because the purpose of storm -water -control measures is to
protect streams and wetlands, no storm -water -control measures or best management practices should be
installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent), wetland or, when practicable, riparian area.
Accordingly, we recommend that all new developments, regardless of the percentage of impervious
surface area they will create, implement storm -water retention and treatment measures designed to
replicate and maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any additional

impacts to habitat quality within the watershed. We also recommend the use of low -impact -development
techniques, such as reduced road widths, grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and
wetland retention areas, for retaining and treating storm -water runoff rather than the more traditional
measures, such as large retention ponds, etc. Sufficient retention designs should be implemented to allow
for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm -water surges;
thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and chemical discharges. These designs often cost less to install
and significantly reduce environmental impacts from development.
We recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e., pervious concrete,
interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Pervious
surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be used to facilitate groundwater
recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store heat and allow the cooler soil below
to cool the pavement (thus preventing heated water from entering adjacent waterways). Additionally,
pervious concrete requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large
voids within the concrete. We also recommend (if applicable), the incorporation a rooftop garden or any
type of green rooftop into the building construction plans. Green rooftops have many benefits, including:
(a) keeping buildings warmer by adding a layer of insulation to the roof and keeping buildings cooler by
allowing plants to take in water that evaporates into the atmosphere, resulting in lower heating and
cooling bills; (b) reducing the amount and improving the quality of storm -water runoff because water is
absorbed and filtered through plants and soil; and (c) improving overall air quality by removing
particulate matter from the air. This, along with the proposed storm -water runoff collection devices that
will be constructed, will dramatically decrease the amount and increase the quality of storm -water runoff

Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources
and Water Quality" that we support and encourage you to use. It can be accessed via the Internet as

Invasive Exotic Species
We are concerned with the introduction and spread of invasive exotic species in association with the
proposed project. Without active management, including the revegetation of disturbed areas with native
species, the project area will likely be a source for the movement of invasive exotic plant species. Exotic
species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics
are a factor contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and
plants on the Federal List ofEndangered and Threatened Wildlife andPlants.' It is estimated that at least
4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the United States,
costing more than $130 billion a year to control.' Additionally, the U.S. Government has many programs
and laws in place to combat invasive species (see www.invasivespecies.gov) and thus cannot spend money
to counter these efforts. Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species
(February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it believes are
likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the United States or
elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion -control benefits, many exotic species used in soil
stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby preventing the reestablishment of

where they are capable of displacing already established native species. Therefore, we strongly
recommend that only native plant species be used in association with all aspects of this project.

Dear Ms. Foy:
Thank you for your letter of May 13, 2015, concerning the above project.
There are no known recorded archaeological sites within the project boundaries. However, the project area has
never been systematically surveyed to determine the location or significance of archaeological resources. Based
on the topographic and hydrological situation and the density of archaeological sites in the area, there is a high
probability for the presence of prehistoric or historic archaeological sites.
We recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify and
evaluate the significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project.
Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of construction activities.
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as one copy of the appropriate site forms,
should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well *in advance of any
construction activities.
A list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed an interest in contract work in North
Carolina is available at www.archaeology.ncdcr.gov/ncarch/resource/consultants.htm. The archaeologists listed, or
any other experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the recommended survey.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any histonic structures.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
