3j. Comments:
Impacts S2 and S4 are for riprap, and should be considered permanent impacts with no net loss. Therefore, Impacts S2 and S4 should not factor into
mitigation or loss calculations. Impact S5 is a temporary impact due to dewatering, and should also not be considered a loss or be factored into
mitigation calculations.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This project has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts to the maximum feasible extent. The project site is constrained by a series of wetlands
and waterbodies that make developing the site a challenge. There is a large openwater pond and wetland in the southeastern portion of the site, wetland
and stream complexes that bisect the site in two locations, and a large wetland in the northern portion of the site. That being said, the applicant has
minimized the the impacts to three road crossings and a sanitary sewer easement. There are approximately 42.8 acres of wetlands, 6,517 linear feet of
perennial streams, and 5.5 acres of openwater pond within the subject. The proposed layout include the following unavoidable impacts: 0.44 acres of
permanent wetland impact, 0.04 acres of wetland conversion impact, 38 linear feet of temporary perennial stream impact, 65 linear feet of no net loss
perennial stream impact, and 319 linear feet of permanent perennial stream impact. This completely avoids the pond and associated wetland in the
southeastern portion, as well as the large wetland in the northern portion of the site. In addition the crossings were located in locations that minimize the
impacts to regulated resources. The impacts for the proposed project have been minimized and avoided to the maximum possible extent, while
maintaining economic feasibility.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction measures to minimize impacts include using riprap associated with culverts to minimize net loss of stream beds. Applicable industry
standard methods to ensure the safety of protected resources will be used.
