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 Willard Street wetland is located at the intersection of 15h, 16th, and Willard Streets. The upper cell is vegetated with wetland plants and grasses, and the lower cell is largely
overgrown with plants, grasses, and trees. The surrounding site is grassy, with trees present on the east and west portions of the site. Land use in the vicinity of the site is largely medium -
intensity development and developed open space, with pockets of high -intensity development and forested areas.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
0 Yes O No O Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
1.8
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Greenfield Lake suffers from green and blue-green algal blooms, bottom -water hypoxia, fish kills, and high fecal coliform bacterial counts. This project seeks to help reduce nutrient
loadings to the lake by increasing the retention time, and therefore pollutant removal, at the Willard Street wetland.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The Willard Street wetland is comprised of an upper cell and a lower cell, connected by an existing culvert and earthen berm. The lower cell contains an outlet culvert that drains to
Jumping Run Branch. Concrete riser structures will be installed on the outlet culvert of each the upper and lower cell. The upper cell will be regraded to provide proper planting zones to
support wetland vegetation and create improved forebays at the stormwater inlet locations on the upstream end of the cell. Wetland species will be planted in the upper cell to improve
pollutant removal.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas? *
Yes O No
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*

21. Comments:
Temporary wetland impacts are due to removal of excessive sediment loads during construction and replanting of native wetland vegetation.
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:
The outlet riser structures were designed to maximize nutrient removal in both the upper and lower wetland cells during the water quality event. The
regrading of the upper wetland cell will provide proper planting zones to support wetland vegetation and further improve nutrient removal. The riser
structures and wetland cell grading were designed such that no adverse flooding impacts are created upstream or downstream of the project area during
rainfall events.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented to ensure minimal impacts during construction. Tree protection
fencing will be installed prior to construction to prevent damage or removal of trees. Silt fence will be installed around all disturbed areas to prevent the
transport of sediment outside the construction area. All work within the wetland cells will be done in the dry using a pump -around operation in order to
prevent the conveyance of sediment and pollutants downstream of the project. Both temporary and permanent seeding is planned to ensure that all
disturbed areas are stabilized over the short and long term.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
O Yes O No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
This project will not result in unavoidable adverse impacts to Waters of the U.S., therefore minimization of impacts and compensatory mitigation are not required.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
0 Yes O No
If no, explain why:
This project is not located in one of the river basins or watersheds where NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules are applicable.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
0 Yes ® No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
OYes 0No
Comments:
This project is a NCDEQ 319 funded project to reduce nutrient loads in Greenfield Lake.
