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 area consists of undeveloped forested areas, herbaceous areas, and agricultural fields. On -site elevations range from 680-760 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land
cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, mixed forest, herbaceous areas, and agricultural fields. According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural
Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Mecklenburg County (Figure 5), on -site soils
consist of five different soil types. Of the on -site soils listed on the Web Soil Survey, Monacan soil series is listed as containing hydric inclusions. A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a
potential riverine system in the central portion of the project limits (Figure 6). The Coble Road Subdivision site is located within the Area of Minimal Flood Hazard Zone (Figure 7).

Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.08 Acre
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1,972 If intermittent stream
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to develop property for a residential development to provide housing in the rapidly developing Charlotte metropolitan area.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Under Nationwide Permit No. 29, the project proposes impacts to one stream channel. The proposed layout and impacts are depicted in Attachment C.
The project proposes crossing the Stream A utilizing a culvert. The culvert will result in 143 If permanent loss of waters (S1). Rip rap aprons will be installed up- and downgradient to
prevent erosion (S2: 53 If). Additionally, the project proposes 11 If of impacts due to rip rap to prevent erosion at the beginning of the stream channel (S3).
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
To avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., property was delineated prior to finalizing the site plan and the proposed site plan was
designed around the delineation results. The proposed loss of waters is limited to 143 If. The proposed culvert will be buried one feet below the existing
grade. Head walls were utilized to minimize the proposed impact (Attachment
C).
The Coble Road Subdivision was designed based on the zoning requirements of the City of Mint Hill. Minimum lot size for the site is 40,000 sf. Site
layout and roadway connectivity were initially established with previously approved plans for the subdivision. Based on the number of proposed lots and
the requirements of the NC Fire Code and City of Mint Hill, the residential roadway network layout requires two points of access in the vicinity of the
stream crossing. The proximity of the stream to the western boundary line limits the placement of these required internal roadway access points. The
stream crossing was chosen to be at the upper end of the stream to reduce the need for culvert capacity and stream disturbance.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Silt fence will be installed around
thejurisdictional features, outside of the avoided wetlands and streams. Construction activities and impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will
comply with all conditions of Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certificate No. 4256. All work will be constructed in the dry and all temporaryfill
will be removed following the work.
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:

F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
