1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The applicant attempted to minimize impacts as much as possible. However, one small wetland pocket is located in the center of the lot and impacts
could not be avoided while still building on the property. The freshwater and coastal wetlands located adjacent to the AIWW have been avoided.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Silt fencing will be installed prior to construction to minimize sediment leaving the site.

2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
DWR Corps
2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project?
Mitigation bank Payment to in -lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation

3c. Comments
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

Yes No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?
Yes No
N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
Local Government State
State Stormwater Programs
Phase II Coastal Counties
HWQ or ORW Other
Comments:
Engineer will prepare a stormwater plan as needed prior to development.
G. Supplementary Information

Yes No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?*
Yes No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?
Yes No
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
Yes No Unknown

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed to determine if any rare species are known to occur on or near the site. According to their
files, no federally listed species are known to occur within the site. There are occurrences of federally listed sea turtles, sturgeon, and seabeach
amaranth within a one mile radius of the site, likely within the AIWW and Atlantic Ocean and its adjacent beaches, located north and south of the site.
The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several species were identified as potentially occurring in the region. Many of these species require
coastal and/or marine habitat. The lot to be developed consists of uplands and freshwater wetlands and would not provide suitable habitat for these
species. Forested areas within the site support mostly shrubs and would not provide suitable habitat for the RCW. Because of a lack of trees, the tract
likely does not provide suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. The site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for any other species
known to occur in the area.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
Are there submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) around the project vicinity?*
Yes
No
Q Unknown
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat? *
The NOAA EFH Mapper was reviewed. The AIWW is EFH for several species. No impacts to coastal wetlands or waters will occur as a result of this
project. Silt fencing will be used during construction to ensure sediment does not leave the site.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? *
The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of known cultural or historic resources.
No cultural or historical resources were noted within or adjacent to the site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
Yes No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
Applicant will work with the County to ensure FEMA requirements are met. Houses will be built on pilings.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
FEMA Flood Map Service Center website
