The roadway to access the site will consist of both public and private portions and will be an extension of the existing Landson Drive. The road will be approximately 2,390 feet to a roundabout then an additional 540 feet to the proposed development. The proposed development will require both stream and wetland impacts at the road crossing areas. Wing walls and retaining walls are proposed at the impact areas to avoid and minimize impacts. 5.

Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet 0 3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 31. Total temporary stream impacts: 215 473 3i. Total stream and ditch impacts: 688 3j. Comments: Due to the proposed placement of culvert at impact W1 a short section of channel CH O is proposed to be open relocated to increase long term stability below the culvert for approximately 13 feet. Mitigation is proposed for impacts S1 and S2. No mitigation is proposed for the open relocation. Impact S4 is for the replacement of the existing culvert. A pump around to establish a de -watering zone has also been included as a temporary impact which includes 10 feet above and 10 feet below impacts at S1, S2, and S4. No mitigation is proposed for the temporary impacts. S1 is 0.01 Ac and S2 is 0.024 Ac. Due to the quality of the channel being Medium according to the included NC SAM form we are proposing mitigation at a rate of 1.75:1. 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: The road has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize proposed impacts to the greatest extent possible. The road alignment has been designed to take advantage of existing site access and an existing culvert. By using the existing culvert the road alignment has avoided additional impacts. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: At impact S2 wing walls are being used to avoid additional impacts and minimize proposed impacts by reducing the length of side slopes. At impact S1 a retaining wall has been proposed to be constructed to avoid and minimize impacts by nearly eliminating side slopes. The wall is approximately 11-12 feet in height and is 140 linear feet on the downstream side and 144 liner feet on the upstream side of the crossing. 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?
