VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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. Site B Target was located such
that the impact to the wetlands is minimized and still meets training needs of the client.
The client gave specific coordinates for the targets based on training needs. Avoidance was
considered for Site B Target. The client requested the target be located at the area shown in
order to stay within the current SDZ (Surface Danger Zone).
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
Page 9 of 13
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - 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
and/or 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 USACE 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 DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htin].
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
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.
Mitigation is not proposed for this site. The range is a fully functional range with
multiple targets and impact berms. A large impact berm is located just to the south of
proposed Site B Target. This area already receives impacts from bullets fired on the range_
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please

Install Moving Target on Range G5 - N40085-08B-0049
Dewberry Project No. 50014655
Dear Mr. Shaver:
On October 7, 2008 Dewberry & Davis, Inc. (Dewberry) received a letter from your office
requesting additional information for a PCN application submitted to your office on September
24, 2008. Below are responses to the comments.
Comment 1: In order to understand the project and specifically evaluate whether avoidance
and minimization has been considered, the Corps needs to view the entire project
area including all aspects of the range from access to firing positions to utilities.
The current plan only shows the impact area and does not provide a complete
picture of the entire G5 moving target range. Based on the current view it is not
clear where this wetland system lies on the approved delineation included due to
scaling issues. The entire project area should be displayed on the approved
delineation at a scale to properly evaluate avoidance and minimization.
Response 1: A copy of the entire set of construction drawings is enclosed. The G-5 Range
project area is shown on the enclosed drawings. The targets have been located to
minimize impacts. Site "A" Target was located such that it does not impact the
wetlands. Site "B" Target was located such that the impact to the wetlands is
minimized and still meets training needs of the client. The client gave specific
coordinates for the targets based on training needs. Avoidance was considered
for Site "B" Target. The client requested the target be located at the area shown
in order to stay within the current SDZ (Surface Danger Zone). Firing positions
are determined by MCB Camp Lejeune. The approved delineation is shown on
the drawings.
Comment 2: The current plan shows the impact cutting across a wetland finger without any
pipes included to reconnect the severed wetland finger. Please indicate why this
approach was chosen and explain why a pipe connection is not warranted. Also
as necessary in any impact sketches please provide a cross section view of the
impact so the Corps can see how this fill slope will intercept the wetland area,
more specifically how the slope will be stabilized and whether or not the slope
could be steepened further reducing wetland impacts.

Response 2: The target berm crosses the wetland finger along the high point. The wetlands
area in front of the target berm and behind the target berm drains from south-west
to north-east according to the topographic survey. Therefore, no piping system is
required under the target berm. A typical cross section of the target berm
through the wetlands is enclosed. The slope will be stabilized with sod. For
stability of the target berm, a maximum slope of 3:1 is recommended. The berm
will be impacted by bullets and any slopes steeper than 3:1 may cause erosion of
the berm. Revising the side slope from 3:1 to 2:1 would only reduce the
wetlands impact from 0.07 acres to 0.06 acres and would increase the potential of
erosion of the side slopes.
Comment 3: In order to address the avoidance discussion, please give project specifics as to
why the berm has to be on the orientation and length requested. In other words,
provide enough project specific information to answer the question as to why the
berm could not be shortened and thus completely avoiding wetland impact.
Response 3: Site "B" Target was located such that the impact to the wetlands is minimized
and still meets training needs of the client. The client gave specific coordinates
for the targets based on training needs. Avoidance was considered for Site "B"
Target. The client requested the target be located at the area shown in order to
stay within the current SDZ (Surface Danger Zone). The orientation and location
of the target berm was requested by the client. The length is a requirement of the
target system.
Comment 4: Within the PCN, a statement is made that the wetland system would be
considered coastal but it does not fall within the 100 year flood zone, is this true?
If a system has coastal characteristics it typically is subject to regular or at least
irregular flooding and it would surprise me if it did not fall within the flood zone.
Once again with the project area overlaid onto the approved JD it may clarify
what type of system this is.
Response 4: The target locations were located on FEMA maps. Site A Target is not located
within the 100 year flood zone. A portion of Site B Target is located within the
100 year flood zone. The PCN has been updated.
Comment 5: On that note if this wetland is either tidal or non-tidal adjacent to tidal wetlands,
nationwide 39 cannot be used for that type of impact. If this system falls under
the aforementioned category then you would need to utilize nationwide 18.
Please note that because this action has impacts into wetlands and thus requires
submission of a PCN, compensatory mitigation may be required for wetland
impacts especially to high quality systems. At first glance if the impact is within
Coastal Wetlands, the highest quality wetlands in this region, either
compensatory mitigation would be required or a detailed explanation should be
given as to why the impact may be mitigated in another fashion or how the
impact will occur to allow for only minimal impacts to the aquatic resource. This
should be further explained in section VIII of the PCN.

Response 5: The PCN has been change to utilize nationwide 18 in lieu of 39. The impact to
the wetlands has been minimized to the maximum practical extent. Mitigation is
not proposed for this site. The range is a fully functional range with multiple
targets and impact berms. A large impact berm is located just to the south of
proposed Site "B" Target. This area already receives impacts from bullets fired
on the range.
Enclosed are two pictures of the area where Site "B" target will be located. Please call with any
questions regarding this project.
Sincerely,
Dewberry & Davis, Inc.
