E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
a
1. Avoidance and Minimization

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Layout specifically designed to minimize the impacts of the stream and/or wetlands while meeting the NCDOT design requirements, adjacent
neighborhood tie ins, and accessibility to rear sections of the property. To access the large portion of the development tract, it is not feasible to avoid
impacts. The crossing location is at the narrowest location possible. The proposed roadside ditches shall terminate and diffuse flow prior to entering the
vegetated setbacks/wetlands. The only sections of setbacks/wetlands proposed are those needed to construct the NCDOT typical cross-section/slopes.
Headwalls have been designed, as required by NCDOT, to limit impacts to the streams, wetlands, and vegetated setbacks.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The sedimentation and erosion control plan design has been completed such that temporary sediment basins and temporary skimmer sediment basins,
as applicable, are installed directly up -slope of the roadside ditches that discharge up slope of the vegetated setbacks and wetland areas. Silt fence will
also be utilized to surround all disturbed area and straw wattles will be used where needed to slow velocities and reduce suspended solids prior to
entering those 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?

Comments
Note that this project formerly contained areas owned by Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. that fell within 575' of the ORW line, and therefore required a CAMA major permit. This is no longer
the case. The property owned by Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. has not property within 575' of the ORW line.
