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

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.

Comments:
A stormwater detention pond will be used in conjunction with a sand filter area to reduce the amount of discharge in order to
provide treatment to any runoff that is routed to the pond. An ouffall control structure in the sand filter area has been designed
so that the discharge from the pond will be equal or less than predevelopment runoff conditions from the site.
