Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Avoidance and minimization efforts were implemented during development planning and design to the greatest extent practicable in order to reduce the overall impacts on the aquatic environment while staying within nationwide permit thresholds. The final plan demonstrates maximum avoidance and minimization efforts by reducing the proposed stream impacts. The rationale to support avoidance and minimization efforts include the following: - Avoidance of the remaining 848 LF of streams on -site. Approximately 12 LF of impacts to Stream 2 will be avoided through the construction of a 28 ft tall retaining wall. - Approximately 12 LF of impacts to Stream 3 will be avoided through the construction of an 18 ft tall retaining wall. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Stormwater facilities are sized and positioned to minimize impacts to the greatest extents practicable. Temporary erosion control measures, including but not limited to skimmer basins and silt fence, will be implemented to minimize sediment laden runoff from exiting the site. 2.

Based on an NCSAM assessment of Medium for Stream 2 and Stream 3, mitigation is proposed at a 2:1 ratio for permanent impacts to these features associated with the grading necessary to construct the residential development. In total, 1,062 stream mitigation credits will be purchased to offset impacts associated with this project. A Statement of Availability from the WLS Catawba 01 UMB — Starker Bank and NCDMS are included along with Quality Assessment Results. 6.
