6i. Comments:
Per the Neuse River Basin Buffer protection rules, 15A NCAC 02B .0714 (11) Table of Uses, perpendicular road crossings that impact less than 1/3 acre
of riparian buffer are "allowable upon authorization." The proposed road crossings are necessary in order to access usable, upland portions of the
property while also providing internal and external connectivity as required by the municipality.
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:
Four (4) streams and fifteen (15) forested riparian wetlands are located on the Site. The proposed roadway infrastructure results in two (2) proposed
roadway crossings over one (1) stream channel and one (1) linear wetland; these streams bisect the property, and the road crossings are necessary to
access usable upland portions of the Site. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. All other jurisdictional features on the Site have been
avoided. Lots were positioned to avoid additional fill and/or impact to streams and wetlands. Stormwater outfalls were designed to avoid impacts to
jurisdictional areas. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will
be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater runoff.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing
and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into stream and wetland areas.
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:
Impacts to streams and wetlands are below compensatory mitigation thresholds. Impacts to proposed riparian areas are listed as "allowable upon authorization" per the Neuse River Basin
Buffer protection rules, 15A NCAC 02B .0714.
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
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?

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.
Per the NC DWQ April 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale residential development projects have a "low potential for cumulative
impact" since the project already in a developed landscape (i.e. existing residences and development in the vicinity) and the area already contains the
necessary infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, electricity, etc.). The project drains to Smith Creek, which is Water Supply -IV (WS-IV); Nutrient Sensitive
Waters (NSW), (i.e. not HOW or ORW). We anticipate the NCDWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis 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.
Homes will be on individual septic systems.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?
Yes No
