Total Wetland Impact 0.275 2i. Comments: 2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact 0.210 The proposed development seeks authorization under NWP# 39 for wetland impacts associated with the construction of the LTL freight facility space. The proposed project will result in 0.21-acre of permanent impacts and 0.065-acre of temporary impacts to Wetland 2. • Impact 1 — Wetland 2 o 0.21-acre of permanent wetland impacts associated with the grading activities necessary to construct the interstate motor freight facility. • Impact 2 — Wetland 2 o 0.065-acres of temporary wetland impacts associated with the conversion from forested to herbaceous wetlands in order to provide connection to the sanitary sewer main. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Avoidance and minimization efforts were implemented during development planning and design to the greatest extent practicable in order to reduce the overall impacts on the aquatic environment while staying within nationwide permit thresholds. The final plan demonstrates maximum avoidance and minimization efforts by reducing the proposed wetland impacts. The rationale to support avoidance and minimization efforts includes the following: • A temporary timber crossing will be installed at Stream 2 to avoid any stream impacts associated with the temporary mounding of soil during construction. • Avoidance of the 1,722 LF of streams on -site. Avoidance of the remaining 4.75-acres of wetlands on -site. • Impacts 1 — Wetland 2 o Retaining walls have been strategically placed to reduce grading fill slopes and to avoid further impacts. o A hammerhead turnaround is proposed at the terminus of the extension of New Town Way SW to prevent future indirect impacts to wetlands on -site. A hammerhead turnaround is necessary for vehicle access, specifically for Emergency Vehicles (refer to detail). • Impact 2 — Wetland 2 o Temporary wetland impacts will be restored to pre -construction grade contours and a permanent wetland seed mix will be applied after connection to the sanitary sewer main is completed. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Stormwater facilities are sized and positioned to minimize impacts to the greatest extents practicable. Temporary erosion control measures, including but not limited to skimmer basins and silt fences will be implemented to minimize sediment laden runoff from exiting the site. 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): DWR Corps 2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project? Mitigation bank Payment to in -lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation 4. Complete if Making a Payment to In -lieu Fee Program 4a. Approval letter from in -lieu fee program is attached. Yes No 4b. Stream mitigation requested: (linear feet) 4c. If using stream mitigation, what is the stream temperature: 4d. Buffer mitigation requested (DWR only): (square feet) 4f. Non -riparian wetland mitigation requested: (acres) 4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested: (acres) 0.28 4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested: (acres) 4h. Comments Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) in -lieu fee program. Based on an NCWAM assessment of Medium for Wetland 2 mitigation is proposed at a 1.75:1 ratio for permanent impacts to this feature associated with the grading necessary to construct the interstate motor freight facility, or 0.37 wetland mitigation credits. Mitigation is proposed at a 1:1 ratio for the temporary impacts to this feature associated with the connection to the sanitary sewer main that will result in the conversion from forested to herbaceous wetlands, or 0.065 wetland mitigation credits. In total, 0.44 wetland mitigation credits will be purchased to offset impacts associated with this project. Quality assessment results and a Statement of Availability are included. 6.
