the wetland substrate. Pilings will be installed at -- 7.5-ft spacing. Mats will be used to avoid wetland impacts during construction.
Sedimentation and erosion control measures will be installed. Then the limits of disturbance will be cleared of vegetation and graded. Structures and fields will then be installed. Track hoe,
loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction equipment will be used.

2i. Comments:
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Wetland impacts have been minimized as much as possible in the site plan. However, because of the size of the fields and parking requirements, some
impacts are needed. Pedestrian access boardwalks will be constructed on pilings over wetlands to avoid impacts to this resource.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be implemented during construction to limit impacts to downstream waters.
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:
Permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.1 acre.
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:
The site is located in the Pasquotank River Basin, which does not have riparian buffer requirements.
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
HWQ or ORW
Coastal Counties
Other
Comments:
Stormwater permits have been obtained for previous phases of the park. The project engineer is currently preparing a stormwater plan for Phase 3.
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?
Yes No
1b. If you answered "yes" to the above, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or State (North Carolina)
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?*

Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
Yes No
L

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.
No additional wetland impacts are anticipated within the tract. Stormwater and erosion control permits will be obtained and implemented to limit impacts
to downstream waters.

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 the federally listed northern long-eared bat and proposed for
listing tri-colored bat within one mile 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 site consists of uplands and freshwater wetlands and would not
provide suitable habitat for these species. The site supports mostly hardwoods and would not provide suitable habitat for the RCW. The site is forested
and may provide suitable roosting habitat for the NLEB and tri-colored bat. The USFWS determination key for the NLEB was completed and resulted in
a "may affect" determination. Further coordination with the USFWS determined that maternity roosting trees are known to occur within 0.5 mile of the
site. The applicant agrees to time of year clearing restrictions and has completed a BA form (attached) so that further consultation with the USFWS can
occur. No other impacts to federally listed species are anticipated.
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?

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 the site. One surveyed structure (CK 0385; Crawford Township VFD) is located just south of the site
and is identified as ineligible for listing.
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?"
