4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to provide and enable sufficient, safe, and reasonable truck access for the growth, employment, and distribution of Cambro Manufactured goods from their
newly planned site. The existing Cambro Manufacturing site is located directly to the west on the other side of Highway 119. Connection to Highway 119 was imperative and has to be
adjacent to the existing facility for production. The location of the site will also minimize truck traffic volume in the surrounding area.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The proposed project would develop the site with a facility for Cambro Manufacturing. The area of the proposed building would be approximately 379,672 square feet. The development
would include site access roads from Highway 119 and from West Holt Street. The development would also include a minimum of 64 parking spaces to accommodate employees and
visitors. Additionally, a wet pond would be constructed within the southeastern portion of the site to pretreat stormwater prior to discharge. To accommodate the manufacturing facility, a
minimum of 54 loading docks are required and 379,000 square feet of storage for produce line. Connection to Highway 119 was imperative and the site had to be adjacent to the existing
Cambro facility. The site was designed to allow truck movement safely and efficiently around the perimeter of the building. The need for the fire lane around the entire building is a
requirement by the fire department for added safety to the facility.
This project is part of the NC Industrial Center, which has been permitted under Action IDs. SAW-2002-21260, SAW-2011-02215, SAW-2017-02495, and SAW-2019-01512. Based on the
Special Conditions in these NWPs, this project is considered cumulative with earlier phases of the NC Industrial Center with respect to compensatory mitigation and Nationwide Permit
thresholds, see Attachment A for the NWP tearsheet.
ECS identified five wetlands and five streams within the project boundaries during the wetland delineation conducted on April 2, 2024. The PreliminaryJurisdictional Determination
Package is included in this submittal as Attachment B.
The proposed project would result in a total of 0.22 acre of permanent wetland impacts; 278 linear feet (0.011 acre) of permanent stream bed impacts; 18,252 square feet of permanent
Zone 1 buffer impacts;16,745 square feet of permanent Zone 2 buffer impacts; 1,115 square feet of temporary Zone 1 buffer impacts; and 9,779 square feet of Zone 2 buffer impacts. All
impacts are shown on the attached Impact Exhibit (Attachment C).
The proposed project would result in 0.13 acre of permanent impacts to Wetland 1, due to grading/fill associated with the construction of the manufacturing facility and impervious
pavement. A retaining wall will be constructed at the edge of pavement to reduce further impacts to wetlands, and minimize impacts that would have resulted from a grading slope. Footing
drains will be installed on the exterior of the retaining wall to maintain hydrology to the portion of the wetland that won't be impacted.
The proposed project would result in 0.07 acre of permanent impacts to Wetland 2, due to grading associated with the wet pond located in in the southeastern portion of the site. The wet
pond was designed so that the lowest portion of the pond would be outside of the wetland to comply with regional conditions of the NWP.
The proposed project would result in 0.02 acre of permanent impacts to Wetland 5, due to grading/fill associated with the construction of the manufacturing facility and impervious
pavement. This impact would be a full take of Wetland 5.
The proposed project would result in 210 linear feet (0.008 acre) of permanent impacts to Stream 2, due to grading/fill associated with the construction of the manufacturing facility and
impervious pavement. A retaining wall will be constructed at the edge of pavement to reduce further impacts to the remaining portion of Stream 2, and minimize impacts that would have
resulted from a grading slope. Footing drains will be installed on the exterior of the retaining wall to maintain hydrology to the portion of Stream 2 that won't be impacted.
The proposed project would result in 68 linear feet (0.011 acre) of permanent impacts to Stream 3, due to grading/fill associated with the construction of the manufacturing facility and
impervious pavement. This impact would be a full take of Stream 3.
The project is located within the Jordan Lake Watershed and is subject to a 50-foot buffer (30-foot Zone 1 and 20-foot Zone 2) as part of the NCDEQ Riparian Buffer Protection Program.
The City of Mebane is the local delegated authority in administering the rules; therefore, impacts to state mandated riparian buffers is not accounted for in this application as !twill be dealt
with at the local government level.
The development would be constructed via standard construction procedures. Proper erosion and sediment control measures will be utilized and maintained throughout the duration of the
project. Typical materials and machinery will be used on -site during the construction process.

3j. Comments:
The project is part of the NC Industrial Center, which has a loss of 0.014 acre from prior projects. Although the stream impacts from this project are
below 0.02 acre, mitigation is proposed at a 2:1 ratio because the cumulative impacts exceed the NWP thresholds. The Statement of Availability for
Stream credits is attached.
The project is located within the Jordan Lake Watershed and is subject to NCDEQ Riparian Buffer Protection Program. The City of Mebane is the local
delegated authority in administering the rules; therefore, impacts to state mandated riparian buffers is not accounted for in this application as it will be
dealt with at the local government level.
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:
The building footprint and parking were sized to the requirements for functionality of the manufacturing site and the required amount of parking spaces
for employees and visitors. The truck court needed to be a minimum of 130 and was reduced to 115 to minimize stream impacts. The width of the truck
court was reduced from 40 feet to 15 feet to avoid and minimize stream impacts. The usable area was reduced due to buffer requirements along the
residential property to the east.
The site was designed to allow truck movement safely and efficiently around the perimeter of the building. The need for the fire lane around the entire
building is a requirement by the fire department for added safety to the facility. Due to the minimum width needed for the fire lane, the building foot print
could not be shifted any further to the east to further reduce stream and wetland impacts.
To minimize impacts during construction, silt fence and erosion control devices will be in place to protect the stream and wetlands. As construction
progresses the erosion control devices will stay in place as long as possible to minimize damage to the remaining wetlands and offsite impacts.
A retaining wall will be utilized on the western side of the facility to reduce grading impacts to streams and wetlands. Footing drains will be located on the
exterior of the retaining wall to maintain hydrology to the portions of streams and wetlands outside of the project's limits of disturbance.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The development will be constructed via standard construction procedures. Appropriate construction techniques will be used, and erosion and sediment
control measures will be put in place prior to beginning construction activities, and will be implemented accordingly to minimize potential sedimentation
and other potential project -related impacts. Efforts will be made throughout all construction phases to minimize the extent and duration of project -related
disturbances to water resources.
