3. Project Description:

3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:
The majority of the Site is currently undeveloped and wooded. The northern and western portions of the Site contain mature pines
with a relatively open understory. Hardwoods are dominant in the drainage along the eastern boundary. Adjacent parcels to the south
and east have been cleared, and a small portion of the Site was also cleared for access to the other parcels. General land use in the
area includes commercial and residential development.

4. Proposed Activity
Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:
The purpose of the Project is to construct an apartment development to meet the demand for housing in this part of the county.
Access to the Site will be provided by a connection to Foundation Drive to the southwest. Apartment buildings and associated
attendant features such as parking, sidewalks, and stormwater control measures will be constructed. Impacts to Zone 2 of the riparian
buffer will result from grading for the stormwater pond, grading for the parking area, and installation of an aerial sewerline. Zone 1
impacts will result from the installation of the aerial sewerline.
Sewer and water will tie into existing lines adjacent to the Site. The sewerline connection will cross Smith Creek to the north. The
construction corridor and the maintenance easement will be 40-feet in width.
The Project proposes to tie into existing utilities adjacent to the Site. Typical equipment used in construction and utility projects (i.e.,
backhoes, excavators, dump trucks) will be utilized.

Comments:
Proposed Zone 1 impacts total 1,590 SF for installation of a sewerline to connect to existing adjacent sewer lines. Zone 2 impacts
total 755 SF for sewerline installation. Zone 2 impacts will result from grading for the SCM pond (3,471 SF) and from grading for a
parking lot (1,520 SF).
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
n
....................

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.
A stream and wetland delineation was performed to identify environmentally sensitive areas on the Site. No impacts to jurisdictional
Waters of the US are proposed. Steeper slopes are proposed adjacent to the outer zones of the riparian buffer to minimize grading
impacts in Zone 2. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts.
Silt fencing and appropriate sediment and erosion control devices will be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater
runoff.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional
impacts. Equipment will be parked and cleaned in uplands away from jurisdictional areas. Work within jurisdictional areas will be
conducted during periods when dry weather is predicted, and large bare areas of soil will be reseeded and protected as soon as
practicable. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into the stream and wetland areas.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. What type of SCM are you providing?*
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen
1 b. Describe how diffuse flow will be maintained: *
One stormwater wet pond is proposed in the northeastern corner of the Site. The stormwater management plan will be approved by
the local delegated authority.
