4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.72 ac
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to construct a multi -family and single family residential development to serve the residential needs of the community. Wetland impacts are needed for a road
connection to the rear of the parcel. The site cannot be accessed from the south due to the Duke Powerline Easement that runs the southern boundary of the parcel.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The residential development will consist of 8 multifamily town homes and 12 single family homes. A single road is proposed to access the town homes and continue south to access the
single family homes. The road will circle around to divert traffic back towards the entrance. Twenty-one parking spaces are proposed for the townhomes. A 5 vehicle parking area will also
connect to the road, providing access to the mail kiosk. Three stormwater ponds will be constructed at the northern and southern boundaries and one central location. A lift station is also
proposed in the center part of the site.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place. The limits of disturbance will be cleared of vegetation and site grading will occur. Roadways and utilities will be installed,
followed by the construction of the homes and finally demobilization and landscaping. A culvert will be installed at the wetland crossing to maintain hydrologic flow. Standard construction
equipment will be used.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
0
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
A wetland crenulation spans the central part of the site and wetland impacts could not be avoided while still accessing uplands in the southern part of the
tract. The project will only cross the wetlands in one location and will run the sewer and water lines parallel with the road. There is an existing Duke
Powerline easement to the south that prevents the southern half of the property from being accessed without crossing the wetland. An RCP pipe will be
installed beneath the road to insure a hydrological connection continues.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The developer will obtain stormwater and sedimentation and erosion control permits prior to development.
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
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Wetland impacts are less than 0.1 acre, which is the typical USACE threshold for mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
This project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and is not subject to the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
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:
The engineer is currently preparing a stormwater plan.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?'

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)? *
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
Yes No

3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
The project will not provide utilities or access to adjacent tracts. No additional impacts to jurisdictional areas are anticipated on this site. Stormwater and
erosion control permits will be obtained and implemented to limit impacts to downstream waters.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?
Yes No N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.

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
5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8?

Yes No
5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
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 on or within a one mile radius of the site. The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several
species were identified as potentially occurring in the region. Many of these are coastal and/or marine species and would not be found within the project
area. Much of the site is cleared. Some areas within the site boundaries do support pine trees, however these trees are young and the area also
contains a large amount of hardwoods. Therefore, it does not appear to provide suitable habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker. Forested areas within
the site could provide appropriate summer and wintering roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat, however there are no known roost sites in
Brunswick County. The NLEB determination key was filled out and showed that the project "may affect, but not likely to adversely affect" for the
Endangered northern long-eared bat. The site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for any other species known to occur in the area. The
applicant will work with the USACE and the USFWS to ensure any impacts to the species from tree clearing will be minimal.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?
NOAA EFH Mapper
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 cultural or historic resources. No
resources were identified within or adjacent to the site. A cemetery exists off site to the eastern boundary and will not be disturbed.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
Yes No
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
