D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The alignment of the access roadway and convenience center were designed to avoid and minimize impacts to the wetlands. The Wt-W4 permanent
impacts were minimized by shifting the proposed access roadway as close as possible to the west property line, while still maintaining required buffers
from the adjacent property. The layout of the convenience center was designed to minimize the overall footprint of the facility while still providing
required container areas, sufficient turning movements for the public to navlgate the site and sufficient operational room for the facility.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
During construction, the Contractor will be required to install orange safety fencing delineating the limits of disturbance within the wetland areas. Also,
construction equipment will be required to work on matting to minimize disturbance to the root mat. Trees that need to be removed within the impact
areas will be cut off six inches above the existing grade and will be lifted, not dragged, from the wetland area to preserve the root mat.

B.3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to relocate the truck scales for the existing Transfer Station located on the property to a location outside of the
NCDOT Right of Way and to relocate the Convenience Center that is currently on US Hwy 17 onto the property to provide a safer facility for
Pender County residents.
B.3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The improvements to the Transfer Sation include the relocation of the main access road and the truck scales to a location outside of the NCDOT
Right of Way and future construction of a scale building to serve the Transfer Station scales. There is no other equipment proposed to supplement
the existing operations of the Transfer Station. The Convenience Center will include containers for recycling household materials such as scrap
metal, cardboard, tires, and oil for example. Compactors will initially be installed at four of the containers with plans for future iinstallation of
compactors at an additional three containers. An attendant building to be installed by others is proposed on the conveniene center site to oversee
operations of the facility. No other equipment is proposed for the project site.

Station property. The Convenience Center will include containers, compactors and
facilities for the recycling and disposal of household waste.
The improvements to the Transfer Station are being undertaken to move the existing truck
scales from their current location within the NCDOT Right of Way of Transfer Station Road
to accommodate an extension of Transfer Station Road by others for a proposed residential
development. The Convenience Center is being relocated to provide an improved facility
with safer access for the public than what is provided at the current location on US 17 N.
While the project plans depict a Phase 1 and Phase 2 of construction, it is Pender County's
intention at this time to construct the project under one construction project.
The project area is located within the White Oak River Basin and ultimately discharges to
Old Topsail Creek, Stream Index 18- 87 -12, which is classified SA; HQW.
Wetlands:
There are approximately 5.93 acres of wetlands on the project site with a current
jurisdictional Determination from the USACE. The alignment of the access roadway and
convenience center were design to avoid and minimize impacts to the wetlands by shifting
the improvements as close as possible to the west property line, while still maintaining
required buffers from the adjacent property. The layout of the convenience center was
designed to minimize the overall footprint of the facility while still providing required
container areas and turning movements to allow for sufficient operational room for the
facility and safe navigation of the facility by the public.
The wetland impacts, through avoidance and minimization, have been limited to 0.067
acres of permanent impacts and 0.032 acres of temporary impacts. The temporary impacts
are associated with allowing working room for installation of the temporary silt fence and
safety fence along the wetland perimeter. During construction, the Contractor will be
required to install orange safety fencing delineating the limits of disturbance within the
wetland areas. Also, construction equipment will be required to work on matting to
minimize disturbance to the root mat. Trees that need to be removed within the impact
areas will be cut off six inches above the existing grade and will be lifted, not dragged,
from the wetland areas to preserve the root mat.
Stormwater Permit Modification
There is an existing Low Density NCDENR State Stormwater Permit for the project site,
SW8 890713, which will be modified to account for the additional impervious surface area
generated by the project improvements. In accordance with low density requirements,
impervious surface area has been limited to only what is required to safely accommodate
the public and operations of the Transfer Station and Convenience Center. Additionally,
stormwater piping has been limited to only where crossings of the pavement areas are

required. Runoff from the site impervious surface is primarily conveyed to the adjacent
wetlands by sheet flow.
The existing stormwater permit for the site has a permit boundary area of 19.285 acres and
a permitted impervious surface area of 1.665 acres, 72,527.40 SF, for a total percent
impervious of 8.6 %. To facilitate the proposed improvements, the existing stormwater
permit will be modified to reflect the following:
• Maintain the permit boundary area of 19.285 acres;
• Increase the impervious surface area from 72,527.40 SF to 210,014 SF broken out
as follows:
• On -Site Buildings/ Lots: 389 SF
• On -Site Streets: 63,283 SF
• On -Site Sidewalks: 155 SF
• Future: 85,150 SF
• Existing: 61,037 SF
• Increase the total percent impervious from 8.6% to 25%
Erosion Control
The project limits of disturbance are approximately 3.52 acres, 2.01 acres for Phase 1 and
1.51 acres for Phase 2. During construction, erosion control will primarily be controlled
through the use of temporary protection and vegetative stabilization.
Erosion Control Measures:
Erosion control measures include a construction entrance, temporary silt fence, diversion
ditches and sediment traps. A double row of silt fence will be installed in areas of the
project draining to the adjacent wetlands to provide an additional layer of protection.
The contractor shall install, maintain and remove upon completion, erosion control
measures as necessary to prevent sediment from leaving the project limits. The Contractor
shall clean and restore to pre- construction conditions any areas that may inadvertently be
damaged due to the failure of the erosion control measures. Contractor shall keep the areas
outside the limits of disturbance broom clean at all times.
Scheduling of Work:
The temporary construction entrances will be installed, silt fence, drop inlet protection,
temporary diversion ditches and temporary sediment traps shall then be erected as per the
erosion control plan. Denuded areas must be stabilized within fifteen (15) working days of
cease of any phase of activity. All slopes must be stabilized within twenty-one (21)
calendar days of cease of any activity. This includes slopes, swales, channels and
stockpiles.
Minimum Areas to Be Disturbed:
The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be
retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures. No
graded slopes or fills shall be steeper than 3:1.
Placement of Sediment Control Devices:
All devices (silt fence, construction entrance, inlet protection, temporary diversion ditches,
sediment traps, etc.) for erosion control shall be constructed prior to any development on
the property.
