There is 1 wetland necessary crossing proposed to be able to connect to 19 lots. Since the almost all of the high ground is in cropland, no clearing and grubbing should be required. The
roads will be constructed by bull dozers and motor graders. The utilities will be provided by the developer and the supply lines will follow the street construction. The streets will be paved
with asphalt. The septic will be handled by sanitary sewer, which will be installed by a track hoe.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
O
1. Avoidance and Minimization

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
1) Crossing the wetland at most narrow point practical 2) Crossing the wetland perpendicular as possible 3) Side slopes of fill on the street in the wetland
has been steepened to 3:1. 4) The road shoulders have been reduced to 5 ft in the area of the wetland crossing.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The wetlands will be clearly marked and protected with silt fence in the construction areas. The disturbed areas in the wetland for the crossing will be
seeded and mulched soon as possible after construction. The
project will follow the approved sediment and erosion control plan.
