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 subject property is approximately 74 acres and consists of an existing park, roadways, and undeveloped woodlands. Surrounding properties consist of undeveloped woodlands and commercial properties. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?" O Yes OO No O Unknown 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.96 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: (intermittent and perennial) 1,521 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:" The purpose of the project is to construct a new YMCA facility to serve the residents of the Town of Harrisburg and surrounding areas. The facility will host numerous community programs, summer camps, sport tournaments, after school care, etc. The proposed development is located adjacent to the newly constructed Harrisburg Park, which was an important factor during the siting process, as the YMCA facility will best serve the community being close to a community center like Harrisburg Park. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:" Stream 1 divides the site and separates access from Harrisburg Park to the proposed YMCA facility. The proposed emergency access connecting to the northern -adjacent industrial property is through private property and is not permitted to be used as the main entry point to the site. There are no other viable access locations from public rights -of -way to the proposed YMCA site. Therefore, the only feasible way of providing access from Harrisburg Park to the proposed YMCA facility is via construction of a road crossing over Stream 1. The construction access to the site will be routed through the industrial property until the proposed crossing is complete. No temporary stream crossings will be necessary. A bottomless crossing or bridge is not feasible due to cost constraints. Proposed stream and wetland impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable considering the budget constraints of the proposed non-profit development. The development will be constructed via standard construction procedures. Proper erosion and sediment control measures will be utilized and maintained throughout the project. Typical materials and machinery will be used on -site during the construction process. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?" C4 Yes No O Unknown Comments: PJD Issued (SAW-2018-01653) 5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?" O� Preliminary O Approved O Not Verified O Unknown N/A Corps AID Number: Example: SAW-2017-99999 SAW-2018-01653 5c. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas? Name (if known): Agency/Consultant Company: ECS Southeast Other: 5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR. 10/17/2018 6. Future Project Plans 6a. Is this a phased project?" Q Yes No Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity? This includes other separate and distant crossing for linear projects that require Department of the Army authorization but don't require pre -construction notification. This is a single and complete project. D. Proposed Impacts Inventory 1. Impacts Summary 1a. Where are the impacts associated with your project?

Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet: 0 3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 150 3i. Total temporary stream impacts: 22 3i. Total stream and ditch impacts: 172 3j. Comments: Temporary stream impacts are proposed to provide construction dewatering and clean water bypass measures. All impacts have been minimized while also providing sufficient space for appropriate erosion and sediment control measures. 0.009 acre of permanent stream impact is proposed for the placement of rip rap. All rip rap will be keyed into the stream and, therefore, was not calculated as mitigatable impact. 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:" The proposed project has been planned and engineered to avoid wetland and waterbody impacts to the greatest extent practicable. Where avoidance was not feasible, proposed impacts were minimized during the siting, planning, and engineering phases of the project. The road crossing will be constructed at as close to a 90 degree angle as possible. The original stream crossing design proposed a culvert length exceeding 120 LF. The roadway longitudinal slope was increased, the roadway cross section was reduced, embankment fill slopes were steepened, and taller headwalls will be designed in order to reduce the permanent culvert length to less than 100 LF. Permanent stream impacts were reduced from 160 LF to approximately 150 LF. Permanent wetland impacts were reduced from —700 SF to —126 SF. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:" The development will be constructed via standard construction procedures. Appropriate construction techniques will be used, and erosion control measures will be implemented accordingly to minimize potential sedimentation and other potential project -related impacts. Efforts will be made throughout all construction phases to minimize the extent and duration of project -related disturbances to water resources. Temporary stream impacts will be minimized using industry standard techniques such as temporary dam and bypass pump, limited excavation, and backfilling with native material. 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: Proposed permanent impacts associated with the road crossing include 0.026 acre (150LF) of permanent stream impact for culvertand rip rap installation and 0.003 acre of permanent wetland impact. 0.009 acre (22LF) of the proposed permanent stream impact total (0.026 acre) is for the placement of rip rap. All rip rap will be keyed into the stream and, therefore, was not calculated as mitigatable impact. NC Stream Temperature Classification Maps can be found under the Mitigation Concepts tab on the Wilmington District's RIBITS website F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) *** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .*** 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a.
