landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad. Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been. placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

fields are located on adjacent properties. The site is located in a mixed use area of Wilkes
County.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The site is
being graded for commercial development. Currently, a stream that has been deemed
unmiti abg le by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the NCDENR Division of Water
Quality crosses the approximate center of the site. Because of the streams location it must
be piped in order for the site to be used for commercial development A backhoe will be
used to install the pipe. Fill material will be brought onto the site usin dump trucks The
site will. be graded using bulldozers, excavators and other ading,_equipment. A stormwater
retention pond will be constructed on the southern portion of the site. After the site has been
graded, a commercial building, access drives and associated parking areas will be constructed
on the site.
1 l .Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The site is currently zoned commercial b_v
Wilkes Countv. The site is located at the intersection of Hi way 16 and Hi way 18. The
purpose of the work is to develop the site with a commercial building:

wetlands, open water. and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
~;~aa~t~ ~ ~ ~ ~ zur,5
Page 7 of 1

listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed far listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: A stream originates from a
groundwater discharge point on the north-central portion of the site. The stream has been
deemed unmitigable by the U.S. Arm~rps of Engineers and the NCDENR Division of
Water Quality. In order for the site to be developed commercially it is necessary to one 420
linear feet of stream channel. Rip rap will be used to prevent scouring at the end of the pine
that will impact 12 linear feet of stream channel.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and floodine. There are no wetland imnactt.

the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet}. Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USAGE.
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ®uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., damlembankment, excavation, installation of
draw-dawn valve or spillway, etc.): The retention pond will be constructed by excavating_in
an uuland area on the southern portion of the site. A draw-down valve will be installed. The
pond has been sized to remove 85% total suspended solids.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): The pond is to be placed on the site to treat stormwater
runoff and to satisfy NCDENR Stotmwater Requirements_

VII.. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
12. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to
provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances,
accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of
alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not
feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was
developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction
to reduce impacts. The site is currently zoned commercial by Wilkes County. The site is
located at the intersection of Hi hway 16 and Hi way 18. Properties surrounding the site
are currently occupied by a school building, acommercial/light industrial structure and
scattered residences. Based on the commercial zoning and the location (road fronta a alone
Hi way 16 and Highway 18 commercial development is proposed for the site
Approximately 800 feet of perennial stream are located along the western site boundar~The
protwsed commercial development will not impact any of the perennial stream and will not
impact 50 feet of the intermittent stream on the site. From an en~g_nerspective the
most feasible location to place the stormwater retention pond that is required for the site is at
the lowest point on the site. However, the stormwater retention pond will be constructed in
high ground to avoid impacts to the streams on the site.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will. be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
andlor upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DVVQ's

as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The stream that will be impacted has been deemed unmitigable by the U S Anm~ Corps of
Engineers and the NCDENR Division of Water Quality. Therefore mitigation is not
proposed for the impacts that will occur on the site.
