4a. 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 project is in the Sugar Creek Watershed (HUC 0305010301). Sugar Creek is located near the site to the south. Land use in the vicinity includes undeveloped and industrial properties.
The 9.953-acre study area is comprised primarily of successional hardwood forested uplands. The southern edge of the site includes emergent wetlands in the floodplain of Sugar Creek.
Based on a review of historical aerial photographs, a portion of the site was cleared in early 2006, presumably for site development that was not completed. A sediment basin (Non -
jurisdictional Wetland 2) was built as part of the construction activities and has since been abandoned.

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.33
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to build warehouse space divided into three sections for lease.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The site will be developed per the attached plan set. Exhibit I shows the plans in relationship with wetlands at the site. Construction activities with permanent impacts include grading in
uplands and non -jurisdictional Wetland 2 (former sediment basin) only. Jurisdictional Wetland 1 will have only temporary impacts due to the need for connection of sanitary sewer. The
existing sanitary sewer main is located in wetlands off site.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
O
1. Avoidance and Minimization

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
1. No build Alternative: The no build alternative avoids wetland impacts, however, is not considered feasible because it does not meet the needs of the
client to develop the property with a warehouse for lease.
2. Smaller Building Size: A smaller building and routing the sewer around the site was considered in order to avoid wetland impacts. The current building
size is 78,800 square feet. To avoid impacts, the building size would be reduced by approximately 20,000 square feet, reducing the feasibility of the
project. The sewer is planned to be connected to an existing sanitary sewer line to the southeast of the site. The current path of the planned line cuts
into the wetlands at a 90 degree angle straight to the sewer connection. Routing the sewer line in any other direction would cause more impacts than the
current proposed configuration.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
• Impacts were constrained to Wetland 2 only, which is a constructed sediment basin
Slopes near wetlands are 2:1 and 3:1 to avoid impacts
• Erosion and sediment control measures will be used to prevent impacts to aquatic resources
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:
This project will have no impact on streams, 0.02 acres of temporary impacts to Wetland 1, and 0.10 acres of permanent impacts to Non -jurisdictional Wetland 2. Impacts are minimal,
below mitigation thresholds and therefore mitigation is not proposed.
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 INC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
The site is in the Catawba River basin, however, is not located on the main stem of the Catawba. State riparian buffers are absent however local buffer rules are still applicable. There is
currently a 30 foot post construction buffer on the SE side of the property shown on Polaris. We have submitted an Application for Exemption to CMSWS to remove the buffer since there is
no stream located there.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
Yes No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?
Yes No
N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
Local Government State
Local Government Stormwater Programs
Phase II NSW LISMP Water Supply
Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using.
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
USFWS IPaC and NCNHR A threatened and endangered species habitat evaluation was completed to determine the potential for occurrence of
federally listed threatened and endangered species at the Site and immediate vicinity in preparation for site development. The Carolina Heelsplitter
(Lasmigona decorata), a federal and state listed mussel species, is listed by NCNHP as occurring on site, however, this species was not listed by the
USFWS IPaC search. There are no streams occurring on site therefore the heelsplitter does not occur at the site. Potential habitat for three federally
listed vascular plant species (smooth coneflower, Schweinitz's sunflower, and Michaux's sumac) may be present at the site. A field survey for these
species was conducted by a field biologist on September 6th. The listed species were not observed at the site during the field survey.
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?
