Impact Justification and Mitigation 1 Avoidance and Minimization la Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project S &EC completed a wetland, stream and riparian buffer delineation for the proposed infrastructure project so that the project engineers could design a plan to minimize impacts to the natural resources to the maximum extent practicable This delineation Included evaluating the parcels of land directly south of the USACE property on the east and west side of Wimberly Road for the proposed pump station In addition, this delineation consisted of evaluating a corridor 50' beyond the edge of pavement starting from the USACE property along the east and west side of Wimberly Road and south to the Apex/Cary Water Treatment Plant S &EC also evaluated an additional route through the USACE property which followed the Colonial Pipeline Gas Easement The proposed infrastructure project, which consists of a pump station, a gravity sanitary sewer and water line crossing White Oak Creek and a force main and water line going south along Wimberly Road will result in one impact area (see sheets Exhibit 1 -3) on USACE property This proposed Impact area consists of permanent and temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and riparian buffers associated with construction clearing, excavation and the pits required for a Bore and Jack construction method All Impacts to White Oak Creek will be avoided by utilizing the Bore and Jack method It's important to note that the construction easement through the USACE property includes two different utilities and varies in width in order to minimize impacts to wetlands and riparian buffers Its also important to note that Town of Apex has agreed to a 10' wide permanent maintenance corridor for each utility (I a sanitary sewer & water line) through the USACE property, therefore permanent (I a conversion of wetlands from forested to herbaceous) impacts and future riparian buffer clearing for this project have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable In summary, the total proposed impacts for this project are 0 024 acres of wetlands, 4,402 ft' of Zone 1 and 3,482 ft2 of Zone 2 Furthermore, the applicant is aware of the regional conditions associated with the Nationwide Permits 12 With respect to utility line activities (NWP 12- Regional Conditions section 4 0), the applicant is proposing the Bore & Jack method to minimize impacts to streams and wetlands, any temporary discharges into wetlands during construction activities will be kept to minimum period of time and will be contained with appropriate erosion control methods, construction corridor proposed to be 45 'wide because sanitary sewer and water line both to be constructed at the same time within the same easement, utilities are not crossing the AIWW, the utilities are not aerial communication lines, the cleared wetlands within the construction corridor will be re- vegetated with native species and the permanently maintained corridor has been minimized to 10' wide with impacts less than 0 10 acres so mitigation has not been proposed, use of riprap will not be necessary and construction area will be monitored for hydraulic fracturing/fracking 1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques Bore and Jack installation of the sewer line and the water line is being utilized to avoid impacts to White Oak Creek Sediment and Erosion Control methods will be employed and enforced during construction and removed once the project is completed Following construction, grade will be returned to the original contours and planted with native wetland species The Town will maintain only a 10' maintenance corridor over the sewer and water lines 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State ❑ Yes ® No All proposed permanently converted wetland Impacts are less than 0 10 acres (I e 0 003 acres), therefore the applicant is not proposing compensatory mitigation In the 2a Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for form of a payment However, the applicant is mitigating by impacts to Waters of the U S or Waters of the State? avoiding Impacts to White Oak Creek and minimizing total wetland impacts by utilizing the Bore and Jack construction method In addition, post - construction the grade will be returned to the original contours and the wetland areas will be planted with native wetland species 2b If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply) ❑ DWQ ❑ Corps Page 8 of 14 PCN Form — Version 1 3 December 10, 2008 Version 2c If yes, which mitigation option will be used for this projects ❑ Mitigation bank El Payment to in -lieu fee program ❑ Permittee Responsible Mitigation 3 Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank 3a Name of Mitigation Bank 3b Credits Purchased (attach receipt and letter) Type Quantity 3c Comments 4.
