4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project purpose is for the construction of an industrial development.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The proposed industrial development consists of two buildings, commercial vehicle parking, employee parking, roadways, and additional necessary infrastructure. Building A is 152,750
square feet and Building B is 136,500 square feet. One road crossing is required to access building B. Two stormwater control measures are proposed with one in the Northern region of
the property and one located generally between the two buildings. The proposed development includes three permanent stream impacts, three permanent wetland impacts, and seven
temporary stream impacts. The work will require tree clearing and grading for site preparation. Construction will require the use of heavy equipment. Pump arounds have been shown at
areas of in stream work to prevent flowing water within the active construction. The establishment of the dewatered area will use non -erosive materials to create a dike and a pump to
move the water around the work area. A smaller de -watering pump may be necessary to remove seepage from the work area. Silt bags should be used on all pump outlet hoses and the
pump intake should be suspended above the bottom of the channel.

6i. Comments:
No mitigation required for the road crossing as the impact area is less than 1/3 acre. Due to the required 40-foot width of the proposed sewer line
mitigation is required for the crossings and where located within Zone 1. No mitigation is required for Zone 2 impacts. Buffer mitigation is occurring at a
3:1 ratio. Total buffer impact requiring mitigation is 17,620 Square feet needing 52,860 credits. A SOA is attached.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The site has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. Avoidance and minimization has occurred
through the site design including the size, orientation, and positioning of the proposed buildings, stormwater control measures, parking, and additional
infrastructure.
8

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Retaining walls are proposed at the road crossing to minimize proposed impacts and avoid additional impacts. The retaining walls at the road crossing
are 247 linear feet and 144 linear feet. The walls vary in height but approximate 20 feet at the highest point. Without these retaining walls and assuming
2:1 slopes the road crossing would be lengthened by approximately 80 feet (40 feet on both sides) and would impact over 175 feet of CH 100, all of CH
200, all of WL 2000, and a portion of WL 1500. An additional retaining wall of 745 linear feet, varying in height from approximately 20-30 feet, is being
proposed Southwest of Building A to avoid greater impacts to CH 100 and entirely avoid wetlands WL 1400 and WL 1500. This wall also creates a wider
buffer and tree save area along channel CH 100.
