2i. Comments:
The proposed wetland impacts are all permanent and due to lot and site grading. The impacts are minimal and will not require mitigation.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to jurisdictional features have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating resourceful site planning,
including utilization of the wetland/stream delineation to adjust the layout of the Site design to avoid and minimize impacts. The remaining site and lot
grading impacts proposed are necessary in order for the project's goals to be realized.
Wetland impacts are necessary for the construction of residential lots that require grading that overlaps wetland area. For this project, a 3:1 slope was
used for all impact locations. The steeper slope decreases the footprint of the proposed lot and reduces wetland impacts.
Q
V

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation as described in accordance with the
requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources: Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual (May 2013) and
local codes. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable ground. The contractor shall install
silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps, division ditches, temporary coffer dams, tree protection, and clearing only as necessary to install devices. All
erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once
every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is required and will
be kept by the owner's representative.
Temporary seeding and permanent seeding plans are included to restore impacted areas. The project will meet all relative requirements of Best
Management Practices and Engineered Stormwater Control Structures as outlined through State and Local Stormwater Rules. Measures will be taken to
prevent oil, tar, trash, debris, and other pollutants from entering adjacent jurisdictional features. Any excess excavated materials not utilized as back fill
will be placed and contained within upland areas and permanently stabilized to prevent erosion into adjacent jurisdictional features. Therefore,
stockpiling of excavated material within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be strictly prohibited as part of the construction of this project. All project
construction activities initiated within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of
disturbance within jurisdictional waters.
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:
The wetland impacts are less than 1/1 0-acre, therefore compensatory mitigation is not required.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
The project is located within the Lumber River Basin and therefore does not require NC Riparian Buffers.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
Information was collected from the US Fish and Wildlife Service Information for Planning and Consultation and the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program. Please see attached Threatened and Endangered species report.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?
NOAA Essential Fish Habitat Mapper
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? *
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Preservation Office's (HPO) online database and the North Carolina Department of Environmental and
Natural Resources (DENR) Division of Historical Resources (DHR) data identified two historical resources as occurring within a 1-mile radius of the
proposed project limits. No historical resources were identified within the project area. The listings identified within the specified search radius include
two Surveyed Only (SO) sites.
The SO site BW0482: Bolivia Fire Lookout Tower, is located approximately 0.04 miles from the northeastern corner of the proposed project limits, but is
across Old Ocean HWY 17, and is occluded by a mature mixed hardwood and pine forest buffer and other existing properties between the proposed
development and Old Ocean HWY 17. The other SO site, BW0474: Galloway House, is over 0.9 miles west of the project boundaries.
Considering the proposed project's consistency with the surrounding land use, along with all proposed work being limited to the project area, the project
area's distance from all listings, and existing land use between the site and listings, the proposed project should have no effect on historical resources.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
Yes No

8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
According to FEMA FIRM panel 3720213000K (effective 08/28/2018) and 3720214000K (effective 08/28/2018), the southern portion of the project area
are located within Zone AE, an area with 1 % annual chance flood hazard and base flood elevations of approximately 10.3 and 9.9 feet above mean sea
level. This area of the site will be avoided.
The remainder of the site is located within Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?"
FEMA FIRM panel 3720213000K (effective 08/28/2018) and 3720214000K (effective 08/28/2018)
