This tract includes four parcels on Carolina Beach Rd in Wilmington, New Hanover County, NC. Addresses in the project area are 3903, 3907, and 3913 Carolina Beach Rd. The majority
of the tract is undeveloped and forested. However, multiple single family homes are located on the western portion of the tract off Carolina Beach Rd. Jurisdictional wetlands are located on
the eastern and southeastern portions of the site. West of that is an isolated non -jurisdictional wetland. The majority of the site is uplands. A storage facility is located north of the tract, and
single-family residences are located south of the tract.
The forested portion of the site is dominated by loblolly pines with some water oaks and magnolia trees. Under canopy has some shrubs and saplings but is not dense with vines.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
O

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.4 (0.3 ac jurisdictional and 0.1 ac non -jurisdictional)
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:"
The purpose of this project is to construct a multi -family residential development to serve the housing needs of the community. One wetland impact is needed for a road crossing and
stormwater pipes.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
This development will hold three apartment buildings totaling 225 units, one leasing clubhouse, and two garage buildings for resident parking. Parking lots, access roads, utilities, and
stormwater are also proposed.
Erosion control measures will be installed prior to any site disturbance. The limits of disturbance will then be cleared of vegetation. Site grading will occur as depicted on the site plan.
Roadways and utilities will be installed. Then building construction will occur. The road at the wetland impact will be approximately 35 feet wide. A retaining wall will be constructed along
the eastern edge of the road. An additional 14.2 feet of wetland impact beyond the retaining wall is needed for construction access and stabilization.
Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction equipment will be used.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
O
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to wetlands were minimized as much as possible. However, due to the site's small acreage, some impacts were required. The apartment
complex was designed to avoid the larger wetland area in the eastern portion of the site. The parking has been placed in the uplands of the site.
However, a road is necessary to access the parking lot for residents. Stormwater pipes are also necessary to cross at this location in order to meet
stormwater requirements.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The developer will obtain a stormwater permit and sedimentation and erosion control permit prior to development.
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 are significantly less than 0.1 ac, the typical mitigation threshold for the USACE.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. 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:
Site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin, which does not have State Riparian Buffer Rules.
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
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
Local Government State
Local Government Stormwater Programs
Phase II NSW USMP Water Supply
Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using.

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed to determine if any rare species are known to occur on or near the site. According to their
files, no federally listed species are known to occur on the site. The red -cockaded woodpecker and American alligator are known to occur within one
mile of the site. The RCW occurrence is historical and it was last observed 1976. The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several species
were identified as potentially occurring in the region. Many of these species require coastal or marine habitat and would therefore not be found in the
site. Most of the site is forested and provides suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat and tri-colored bat. A NLEB Determination Key was
prepared for the project and resulted in a MANLAA. The site supports an equal mix of loblolly pine and hardwood trees and does not appear to provide
suitable habitat for the RCW. The site does not appear to support habitat for any other federally protected species known to occur in the region.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?
NOAA EFH Mapper
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? *
The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of known cultural or historical
resources. No cultural or historical resources were noted within or adjacent to the site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? *
Yes No
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
FEMA Flood Map Service Center website
