Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed sepazately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately fram riprap dissipater pads). lIe 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 for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. Updated 11!12005 Page7of13 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The impacts will consist of two road crossings, each of which will require the installation of a culvert The stream that will be crossed is an intermittent stream that carries stormwater run off from the,.,property The impacts will include some disturbance of the stream bed and stream banks during the installation of the culverts. The placement of the stream into a culvert may increase the velocity of the stream flow slightly. 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 flooding.

No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and 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 USACE. No impacts to isolated waters 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., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): No pond proposed Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): No pond proposed Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: NIA Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A 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. A road is required to provide access to the ro for the develo ment of a residentia_1_subdivision. Due to the topography of the property and the confiuuration of the property boundaries there are limited opportunities for the location of the road. Several road locations were considered with all that provided the Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 necessary access requiring road crossing_In addition, the City of Asheville requires the construction of a through street connecting Kenilworth Road to Reservoir Road the connecting road requires a stream crossing. The roads will be constructed to the standards of the Citv of Asheville. The culvert length will be the minimum necessary to meet the requirements of the City of Asheville for street width. The culverts will be placed in line with the stream and will not result in a change in the direction of the stream flow The bottom of the culverts will be placed below the level of the stream bed to facilitate the flow of the stream Construction techniques will be implemented to minimize the impacts of the installation of the culverts Erosion control measures that meet or exceed the requirements of the City of Asheville will be in place during the installation of the culverts. 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 Finai Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register an 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 similaz 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 DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1.

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 (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they aze 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 htm://h2a.enr.state.nc.uslwrpJindex htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (lineaz feet): None Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): None Amount of Ripazian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): None IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) 1. Does the project .involve an expenditure of public (federaUstate/local) funds or the use of public (federaUstate) land? No 2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPAISEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ^ No ^ 3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No ^ X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. 1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Neese), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Taz-Pamlico), 1 SA NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? No upama unnoos Page 11 of 13 Z. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. * Zone - __ Impact uare feet) Multiplier Required Miti ation I None 3 (2 for Catawba) None 2 None 1.5 None Total None None " Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additiona120 feet from the edge of Zone 1. 3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach alI appropriate information as identified within 1 SA NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. No buffer mitigation required XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The existing impervious surface on the 67 acre site is less than 0 10 acre The proposed impervious surface is 3.7 acres. This represents 0.55% of the total acreage of the site XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Cleazly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-dischazge or dischazge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. The wastewater generated b~ the proposed development will be treated by the Metropolitan Sewa~,e District of Asheville and Buncombe County Following~treatment, the effluent will be discharged into the French Broad River XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .OSOOj or any Buffer Rules? No Is this anafter-the-fact permit application? No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? No Updated I t/1!2005 Page 12 of l3 If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at httL~://h2.o.enrstate_nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to Iist constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). The City of Asheville requires that the ading~`and land disturbin ag ctivit~be phased. In order to limit the potential for erosion and to provide access to the property, the first phase must include the stream crossings. Therefore we would like to obtain permission for the stream Updated 11/1/2005 Page 13 of 13 (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) ,~,~ ~ ~j,'~b~j~ ~`~S C'j~~V&'~~ ~ ~, ~-P ~~; a~ 2006 ~ 9~ 2 iT tC~' ~k~ L i1~`4y yp~'~V.
