1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire site so that natural resources can be identified, and impacts
minimized to the maximum extent practicable. The proposed corridor was routed so that wetland impacts were avoided
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Standard erosion control measures will be utilized along the utility corridor.

O Yes O No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)

3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
O Yes O No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and
silvicultural operations. The Essex South project is a commercial development. Additionally, the project is located within the town of Franklinton ETJ,
therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Phase II
NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to
post -construction stormwater management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
* Yes 0 No 0 N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.

The NC Natural Heritage Programs Data Explorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of federally protected species listed within and
within 1-mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that there are no elemental occurrences that are listed as federally
Threatened/Endangered within or within 1-mile of the project boundaries. References: NC Natural Heritage Program. 2022. Geographic Information
