S1 consists of Reaches 1 - 3 on UT to Town Creek. Existing channels are significantly degraded from channelization, frequent cattle access, lack of
riparian buffer, and erosion. Impacts to channels are necessary to stabilize stream banks, improve hydrology, and restore aquatic habitat; therefore
promoting proper riparian function for project success and long term ecological benefit. See Mitigation Plan for additional information.

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.
The proposed impacts are required to restore stream and wetland functions, as described in the Mitigation Plan. As the intent of the project is to
enhance the overall stream and wetland complex, design efforts were taken to minimize impacts to the existing channel and wetlands wherever
possible. Construction access routes were carefully selected to try to minimize wetland crossings. All disturbed areas will be planted with native seed,
live stakes, and bare root seedlings to re- establish the riparian wetland community upon completion of disturbance.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. NC Erosion and Sediment
controls will be implemented. Wetland mats will be laid down to help minimize impacts to wetland areas where only enhancement activities will be
performed. Stream bank grading will be conducted from the channel where possible to avoid compaction of the floodplain wetlands. The construction
activities will also be phased so that the contractor only disturbs as much stream banks as s /he can stabilize by the end of the day.

additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b. If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
This is a stream and wetland restoration project that includes a conservation easement over the entire project area. The easement is being held by
the State of North Carolina and restricts any future development within the project area. Currently, the surrounding land use is predominantly
comprised of agriculture and rural residential and is located within an agricultural conservation area as outlined in the 2002 Stanly County Land Use
Plan. Therefore, it's anticipated the project area will remain rural into the foreseeable future.

the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
This project is a stream and wetland restoration project and will not generate wastewater, but will instead serve as a natural treatment for non -point
pollution from the surrounding drainage areas.
