4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to construct a residential subdivision
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Pulte Home Company, LLC desires to development the Chestnut Lane Subdivision in the Town of Indian Trail, Union County, NC. The project is located on the north side of Chestnut Lane
approximately one (1) mile east of the Chestnut Lane and Matthews-Weddington Road intersection. The subdivision consists of 57 Single Family Lots on 25.4 acres.
The developer will be disturbing 20 acres. The property slopes from the northern property line (high point) to the southeast property corner along Chestnut Lane, then under Chestnut Lane
into the West Fork Twelvemile Creek. The development will be installing one sediment basin and three skimmer basins on the lower side of the project's denuded limits. The one sediment
basin will be converted to a wet pond at the end of site construction and the skimmer basins will be filled in and the soil will be stabilized.
The project will have one culverted stream crossing (S1/S2 - 67 If permanent impact/40 If of temporary impact; 0.023 ac of permanent stream bed impact). This crossing supports a
necessary road crossing and should be permitted under NWP 14. Three permanent wetland impacts are proposed (W1-W3). W1 and W2 will result in 0.006 ac. (W1) and 0.024 ac. (W2) of
impacts to isolated, non-404 jurisdictional wetlands due to grading supporting proposed residential lots. Impacts should be permitted under NC DWR IWGP100000. W3 will result in 0.062
of permanent impacts due to the construction of a required sediment basin. This impact should be permitted under NWP 18 for minor discharges. Total permanent stream impacts are 67
If/0.023 ac., and total wetland impacts are 0.092 ac.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
40
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The site was delineated and an AJD was obtained prior to design. The site was designed in order to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters. Impacts
W1 and W2 will occur in isolated, non-404 jurisdictional waters, and impacts to jurisdictional wetlands fall below the 0.1 ac. mitigation threshold.
Unfortunately, permanent stream impacts are unavoidable, as Tributary 1 bisects the site. A road crossing of Tributary 1 is necessary to connect the
proposed residential lots on either side. The width of the crossing is the minimum necessary to allow for passage of traffic in both directions. Therefore, it
cannot be shortened. The impacts will result in >0.02 ac. of stream bed loss. Mitigation credits will be purchased from the NC DMS In -lieu fee program.
lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All appropriate erosion and sediment control measures will be taken to limit potential indirect impacts to jurisdictional waters. Tributary 1 will be de -
watered in the area of the road crossing in order to work in the dry. The proposed culvert will be buried by 1' in order to allow for the passage of water at
low flows and for the passage of aquatic life.
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?

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
IPAC database, NCNHP element occurrence data, and field habitat investigation. NCNHP data indicates there are no known T&E species occurrences
on the site (T&E occurrence figure). On -site habitat consists of disturbed mixed forests, woody wetlands, and perennial streams. A single-family
residence and associated, maintained yard are also present. On -site habitat appears to be too disturbed to be considered suitable habitat for potentially
occurring T&E species (Site photographs).
