4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The Miranda Village project involves the construction of a single family residential subdivision, along with associated access roads, utilities, and stormwater facilities. Proposed activities in
waters of the U.S. will be permitted under both NWP 29 and NWP 18. Impacts to be permitted under NWP 29 will total 0.052 ac. offill to jurisdictional wetlands resulting from the grading
for a proposed single family residence (Wl). Impacts to be permitted under NWP 18 will total 0.0283 ac. (W2-W4). Impact W2, 0.0089 ac., will result from fill to support the installation ofa
riser structure that will moderate the water level of jurisdictional Pond A. Impacts W3, 0.0125 ac., and W4, 0.0069 ac., will result from grading due to the construction of proposed
stormwater BMPs. No stormwater will be treated within waters of the US. A further 0.75 ac. of open water impacts will result from the filling of a pond dug in uplands, Pond B (01
Equipment to be used includes a track hoe, dump truck, pumps, various hand tools, possibly a crane to move construction material such as reinforced bars of steel, and concrete buckets
to place concrete. Typical heavy equipment will be used in the grading operations (bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks, graders, etc.).

1. Avoidance and Minimization
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.081
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
To avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., the project limits were delineated for streams and wetlands prior to site design, and impacts to on -
site jurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Rejected Alternative 1
The first site design proposed to entirely fill Wetlands BB, CC, DD, and HH. This would have resulted in 0.35 acre of impact to jurisdictional wetlands.
These impacts would have triggered compensatory mitigation as they were well over the 0.1 acre threshold for NWP 18 and 29. Due to the
unacceptable wetland impacts and potential time and financial constraints resulting from pursuing mitigation options, this alternative was rejected from
consideration, and the site was re -designed.
Preferred Alternative
Proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters as a result of the site re -design are minimal (0.0803 acre) and fall below the nationwide permit mitigation
threshold of 0.1 acre of impact (Attachment F, Sheets 2-5). Proposed activities in waters of the U.S. will be permitted under both NWP 29 and NWP 18.
Impacts to be permitted under NWP 29 will total 0.052 ac. of fill to jurisdictional wetlands resulting from the grading for a proposed single family
residence (W1). Impacts to be permitted under NWP 18 will total 0.0283 ac. (W2-W4). Impact W2, 0.0089 ac., will result from fill to support the
installation of a riser structure that will moderate the water level of jurisdictional Pond A. Impacts W3, 0.0125 ac., and W4, 0.0069 ac., will result from
grading due to the construction of proposed stormwater BMPs. No stormwater will be treated within waters of the US. Impacts to Wetland BB were
eliminated, and impacts to Wetlands CC and DO were reduced. Due to the area required for the proposed access road and lots, impacts to Wetland HH
could not be reduced.
No impacts to streams are proposed.
A "No Build" alternative was considered. Since the purpose of the project is to construct a single family subdivision, a "No Build" option would not meet
any of the project goals.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be properly installed and inspected in accordance with the latest NPDES permit. Erosion and
sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the
protection of surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US. This project will follow all conditions of NWP
18 and 29.
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?

F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
