6i. 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:
We cannot avoid the impact, so the crossing has been minimized by narrowing the crossing using a 301ft wide easement with a 401ft culvert, We are also
crossing the stream perpendicular.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The stream is intermittent at best. A pump around will be used if the amount of flow requires it. The crossing will not be installed in periods of high flow or
when rain is forecasted. If the pump around is not used A check dam will be installed upstream and downstream of the crossing during the instillation.
the entrapped sediment will be removed before the check dams are removed. All the construction work will be performed in 1 day. The construction area
will immediately be stabilized with a ground cover.
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:
less than the threshold.
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 INC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
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
a

Comments:
This crossing is for 1 building lot only.
