The current land use of the review area is mostly agriculture fields, some wooded areas, and one single family residence. Mt Holly-Huntersville Road abuts the west side of the project
area. An industrial development is being constructed east of the project area. A church and cemetery is located adjacent to the project area to the North. Forested land is present South of
the project.

truck court, utilities, and additional infrastructure.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
One unavoidable wetland impact is proposed as Impact W1 to wetland WL 2000 as 0.084 acre of permanent fill. This wetland impact is necessary for grading of the employee/vendor
parking lot and circumference road around the building. The total area of wetland impact under the requested Nationwide Permit 18 is 0.084 acre. Heavy machinery such as track hoes,
bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks, motor graders, rollers, etc will be used to grade the site. Cranes will be used to construct the building.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.084
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The project has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additional property was purchased to
accommodate the circumference road around the building to provide two access points to the back of the building and to both ends of the employee
parking lot— an access road at the North end of the building and an access road at the South end of the building. Over 60 % of wetlands and 100 % of
stream have been avoided and remain undisturbed.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Retaining walls will be constructed at the back of the building to avoid impacts to CH 100, the post construction buffer of CH 100, and WL 1000.
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:
Wetland impacts do not exceed 0.099 acre.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
This project is located within the Catawba River Basin. There are buffers along the Catawba River and lakes along the Catawba River within this River Basin. However, Mecklenburg
County does have 30' post construction stream buffers which will not be impacted by this project.
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)?
Yes No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?
Yes No
N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
