E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. 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. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

4h. Comments
Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the WLS Catawba 01 UMB — Starker Bank and the NC Division of Mitigation
Services (NCDMS) in -lieu fee program. 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.
