6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes U No
6b. If yes, explain.
Due to the large area the project construction is phased. It has been determined that an individual permit will likely be required and will be submitted once final grading and site plans are
developed. The current permit will allow road construction and site access for initial construction in high ground locations.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
A previous NWP 14/58 was issued for the project. This request is for additional impacts at the three permanent road crossings for the NWP 14. It is likely that an individual permit will be
submitted for the residential development once the site plan is finalized.

3j. Comments:
The listed impacts only include the additional necessary impacts at the three permanent NWP 14 road crossings for site access. It was determined by
the engineer that additional impacts were necessary for construction, stability, and material accessibility. Side slopes were slightly lengthened at S1 and
S3. The previous orientation at S2 was unstable due to the channel pattern entering the culvert at a sharp angle. This impact was revised to increase
long term stability.
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:
The site has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. A change in engineers lead to an updated
site plan for this project. It was determined by the engineer that revisions were necessary for long term stability at the three road crossings resulting in
the necessary additional linear footage. These three road crossings are the only required permanent road crossings to access the entire 873 acre
property for the proposed development.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Side slopes at the road crossings are 2:1 grades to prevent and minimize erosion. Wing walls are being used for slope stability and to shorten the side
slopes. Rip rap is proposed along the banks for added stability. No rip -rap is proposed below the OHWM.
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
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
