4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Existing conditions on the site are wooded with rolling topography bound to the north by utility rights of way, to the south by University Drive in Eton, to the east by Williamson Ave. /
Shallowford Church Road, and to the west by adjoining suburban landowners.
The General land use in the area is suburban residential and agricultural to the north and west with more urban residential to the south and east.
At the time of this application.
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:
3.038
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2,016
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of this project is to develop 58+/- acres for single family, multi -family residential uses and mixed multi -family commercial use.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The overall project involves the development of street networks, residential lots, multi -family and commercial space north of the Town of Eton in Alamance County, North Carolina. Due to
the rolling topographic nature of the existing property, the site will be cleared and graded to facilitate the development as described above. The site is divided into three sub sections due to
the stream channels traversing the site flowing from south to north. These channels are subject to 50' Jordan Lake buffers administered by the Town of Eton. The site will be graded with
conventional earth moving equipment likely ranging from D-3 to D-11 sized dozers, 200 to 400 sized excavators, with the exception of mini -excavators and skid -steer loaders where where
smaller -sized equipment become more efficient. Earth moved on site will be transported where pushing becomes inefficient using off road rubber -tired dump trucks and pans. Compaction
in structural areas will be with various sized vibrator sheep -foot rollers up to Cat 815.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?
Yes No O Unknown
Comments:
JD determination attached
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?

Name (if known): Catherine Carston
Agency/Consultant Company: Pilot Environmental
Other: N/A
5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR
06-DEC-2021
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes O No
6b. If yes, explain.
The project as proposed is divided into three major phases working from west to east. The phases of development follow the segregation created by the two stream channels previously
mentioned above. Phase 1 contains road networks, urban utilities, and residential lots. Phase 2 is similar in composition. Phase 3 incorporates the previous uses mention in phases 1 and
2 with mixed -use commercial, residential and open active community spaces with supporting parking areas.
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?
No

6i. Comments:
Not buffer impacts to DSA are associated with no creek or stream channel disturbance. The southern end of DSA is left undisturbed, with a retaining wall
originating just south of its origin, therefore, only the buffer is affected
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Minimization of channel length, section or reach of stream selected for crossing, temporary techniques, minimized cut widths, light tracked equipment,
small equipment, extensive use of retaining walls as opposed to slopes, and otherwise total avoidance.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The MSA crossing is the only permanent crossing proposed. All other crossings have been eliminated, the project segregated, walled off, and total
avoidance philosophy was used.
O
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?

2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
All crossings, impacts to buffers or otherwise are all less than thresholds.

Comments
In an above question we give a response to NO blasting or percussive means to move difficult excavation materials (rock). It does not appear that these methods will be needed, but the
possibility of using these methods can not be eliminated from consideration as this time. Such methods may be required if difficult excavation materials are encountered. IE: 50 /6" to 50/2"
partially weathered rock, confined trench excavation rock or solid rock.
