D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Due to the development and use of the site as a solar farm, a road must be constructed to provide access to the site during
construction and long term maintenance of the site as a solar farm. The road has been designed in a location as far up -
gradient as possible in an area that the intermittent stream has lower quality/function and little to no aquatic habitat Flowing
water and/or aquatic life have not been observed within the proposed area of stream impact during multiple site visits by PEI
Additionally, the stream crossing location has been designed in an area of the stream that is relatively straight. Additionally,
the stream crossing has been designed to have 2:5 to 1 side slopes, thus reducing the linear feet of stream channel impact.
Due to topographic gradient, the road has been designed at nearly a 10% grade whereas, for safety concerns, the design
cannot be at a steeper grade to accommodate construction and long term maintenance equipment. Additionally, the road
width has been reduced to the maximum extent possible, while maintaining safety concerns and considering the topographic
gradients Head and end walls have been designed to reduce the amount of stream channel impact The stream crossing
has been designed with 2 5 to 1 side slopes, thus further reducing the linear feet of stream impact associated with the road
crossing compared to flatter slopes
The solar array and necessary infrastructure (overhead/underground voltage lines, inverters, etc.) have been designed to
avoid impacts to jurisdictional streams, wetlands and ponds
There is approximately 1,379 feet of stream channel located on the site. The remaining 1,258 linear feet of stream channel are
being avoided.
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The clearing limits will be staked and silt fence will be used. A temporary coffer dam will be installed upgradient of the
proposed culvert During construction, water will be pumped around the construction footprint Appropriate stream bank
protection will be provided in the channel during construction and all excess excavated material will be immediately removed
from the stream bank crossing area. Upon completion of the culvert installation, the temporary sand bag coffer dams will be
removed and flow will be diverted through the culvert. Following construction, disturbed banks will be restored to simdair pre -
construction conditions, matted and seeded/live staked.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
❑ Yes ® No
habitat?
5b Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
❑ Yes ® No
impacts?
❑ Raleigh
5c If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted
❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
PEI consulted the NC Natural Heritage Program Database for known T/E occurences on the NC quadrangle that contains
the site, the Castalia NC Quadrangle. The NC NHP identified the Dwarf wedgemussel as a federally endangered species
that has been identified on the quadrangle that contains the site. Based on our observations, the stream and area of
stream impact would not be considered suitable habitat for this species. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed
project would have a no effect determination for the Dwarf wedgemussel

6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? I
❑ Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
Based on our knowledge of the site, the site is not located in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat. Best
management practices and the use of temporary sediment and erosion control devices will prevent sediment from entering
down -gradient waterbodies which may contain fish
