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:
The site is utilizing the low lying area for the SCM where a large culvert currently exists. No perennial streams will be impacted. Approximately 0.5 acres
(7%) of the review area will not be disturbed. It should be noted that approximately 1.5 acres (22 % of the review area) has been saved for Future NC
road widening plans. The site has also had extensive land clearing in 2015.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts have been reduced by the proposed design and location of the buildings, positioning of parking, and the design of the stormwater basin.
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:
The impacts do not exceed mitigation thresholds.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
