The plan is to construct an elevated 2000 sq ft. home with the addition of a gravel driveway, areal electric service line, and septic system with underground city water service line.
Approximately 1-acre will be under brushed with a bush hog. Trees will be chain sawed and stumps in conflict will be ground. A small track loader will be used to move material. The house
piles will be driven with a crane with hammer or vibrator. The septic system will be installed with a compact excavator. The driveway will be cleared with a bush -hog, trees will be removed
with a chain saw and the stumps will be ground. The vegetation will be removed with a small track -loader. The water line will run along the road and installed by trencher and back fill. The
driveway will be constructed with 4-6 inches of sand and will be topped with gravel or crushed stone. Thea arial service line will require 1 additional pole that will be drilled and filled. Prior
to home construction a geo technical boring will be conducted to determine pile depth. No regulated sub -surface mechanized land clearing will be required.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
It is our intent to leave the property as natural as possible. We have minimized and avoided impacts to the maximum extent practical. Our construction
methods will utilize non evasive practices with no regulated sub -surface mechanized land clearing required. This project will have minor impact with less
than 1/10th acre of jurisdictional impacts located on a 3.77 acre site. Due to the minor impact to jurisdictional wetlands we are requesting the no
compensatory mitigation be required.

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
It is our intent to leave the property as natural as possible. We have minimized and avoided impacts to the maximum extent practical. Our construction
methods will utilize non evasive practices with no regulated sub -surface mechanized land clearing required. This project will have minor impact with less
than 1/10th acre of jurisdictional impacts located on a 3.77 acre site. Due to the minor impact to jurisdictional wetlands we are requesting the no
compensatory mitigation be required.

Comments
We believe this project meets all of the requirements for verification under Nationwide Permit 18. It is our intent to leave the property as natural as possible and have minimized and
avoided impacts to the maximum extent practical. Our construction methods will utilize non evasive practices with no regulated sub -surface mechanized land clearing. This project will
have minor impact with less than 1/10th acre of jurisdictional impacts located on a 3.77 acre site. Due to the minor impact to jurisdictional wetlands, we are requesting that the CORPS
verify this project under NWP-18, with no compensatory mitigation be requirements.
