E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection, design, and location/orientation of the proposed lots and access
routes. The proposed road locations are fixed due to sight lines and distance between intersections requirements by DOT. Following these criteria and
the zoning -required open space, the road alignment was revised to minimize impacts to site surface waters. Previously proposed alignments resulted in
more impacts than currently proposed. Lot sizes were also altered to further minimize impacts. See cover letter for more detail.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
Where possible, 2:1 slopes and the maximum allowable headwalls will be used to minimize impacts.
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:
Due to limited site impacts and efforts taken towards avoidance and minimization, no mitigation is proposed. Please also note Stream B scored as Low when evaluated using NCSAM.
