Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project The applicant requested a detailed delineation of streams and wetlands within the proposed project boundaries prior to preparing the site plan in order to insure the limitation of impacts to the natural environment Following the delineation the proposed grading was adjusted to minimize impacts to jurisdictional features and riparian buffers Complete avoidance of streams and wetlands was not practicable because the stream system on the project site bisects the property Additional areas in addition to the riparian buffers were left as open space along the drainage providing additional buffering of the jurisdictional areas Road and utility crossing were oriented to provide as close to perpendicular crossings as possible to further minimize impacts 1b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques Stream banks within the temporary impact area of the utility installation will be stabilized immediately after the installation and the buffer areas will be seeded Road slopes will be seeded and stabilized once construction of the road crossing has occurred Construction activities within the buffered and jurisdictional areas will be completed within the proposed footprint of the road and /or utility to avoid and minimize any unnecessary impacts Tree protection fencing will be placed along the perimeter of wetlands that are in the vicinity of planned grading 2.
