D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The area proposed for impact is utilizing the minimum area of wetlands on the site in addition to uplands with the flow of
the 7.48 tract directed to this area. The pond was designed to have minimal impacts on the wetlands. Also in locating
the pond in this area, the wetland area will have more consistent flow to the area. Within the area of impact the primary
impact will be excavation; however, a small berm will be erected around the rim of the storm water pond as containment.
The access road near the existing structure will be a fill impact when designed minimized as much as possible.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. The
construction will be excavation and the soils will be stockpiled in upland areas to be used on site for future development
needs. The stock piled soil will be contained with silt fence to prevent erosion of the excavated soils until distributed on
the site.
