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:
S&EC completed a wetland delineation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to the
maximum extent practicable. Impact 1 is proposed road crossing on a perennial stream and wetland. Proposed impacts include permanent (i.e. culvert &
headwalls) stream & wetland loss, and temporary (i.e. construction access) stream and wetland impacts. This road crossing is necessary to provide
access to the southwestern portion of the property. Stream and wetland impacts have been minimized by utilizing head walls and retaining walls at the
crossing, and by designing the crossing at a near perpendicular angle. Wetland mitigation is being proposed at a 2:1 ratio to compensate for these
proposed wetland losses. Temporary stream impacts will be brought back to preconstruction stream bed elevations and the stream banks will be
stabilized. Temporary wetland impacts will be brought back to preconstruction contours and the wetland vegetation will be restored via adjacent wetland
see source.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Per the project engineer: Sediment Skimmer basins, diversion berms, and turf reinforcement matting.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

4f. Non -riparian wetland mitigation requested: 4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested
4h. Comments
Permanent Wetland loss impact = 0.118 acres; 0.118 @ 2:1 mitigation ratio = 0.24 acres
S&EC reviewed the NCDWR Approved Mitigation Banks in NC list, there were two (2) banks listed within the 03030004 HUC that had riparian wetland
credits available. Both were contacted and no riparian wetland credits are available, therefore the NCDMS was utilized.
6. Buffer mitigation (State Regulated Riparian Buffer Rules) - required by DWR
6a. Will the project result in an impact within a protected riparian buffer that requires buffer mitigation? If yes, you must fill out this entire form - please contact DWR for more information.
Yes No
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 NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

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)?

G. Supplementary Information n
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? *
Yes
No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? *
Yes
No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and
silvicultural operations. The Wood Lake II- Phase II project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the town of Raeford
ETJ, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Phase
II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition
to post -construction stormwater management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?
Yes No N/A

4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
