4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The project site consists of one tract of regenerating forest understory located at the intersection of Daniels Road NE and Mount Misery Road NE in Leland, Brunswick County, NC..
Bottomland Hardwood Forest wetlands meander through the southern section of the property (see attached Wetland Boundary Sketch). The main land use in the area will be residential.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
36.27 AC
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
13569.6 ft
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
Proposing to remove dirt from the existing road, then to pave with curb and gutter; proposed fill at SW corner of the site. This will allow access to 40 lots with the proposed subdivision.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project will entail removing unsuitable soils from the two (2) proposed impact areas (i.e. WI-1 and WI-2 on the attached Wetland Impact Map) and backfilling the areas with clean
earthen soil. A proposed RIPRAP to be built to one side of the pipe.
The culvert at WI-2 is needed to maintain the connection between the remaining wetlands. In total, 3560 SF (0.082 AC) or wetlands will be filled/disturbed. Please see the attached
Wetland Impact Map for details of the impact areas. Backhoes, front end loaders and dump trucks will be used to complete the work.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

Yes No Unknown
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
Ia. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Prior to designing the project, the applicant had the waters of the US (i.e., wetlands) delineated. Once it was determined available uplands could not be
accessed without crossing wetlands, the road was positioned to cross the wetland as close to perpendicular as possible.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Prior to undertaking land disturbing activities, silt fence will be installed along the approved wetland impact. The measure should ensure work does not
take place and sediment does not discharge outside the approved limits of disturbance. The measure will be inspected weekly and replaced/repaired as
needed until the site is stabilized.
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
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
