E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
Previously planned stream crossings were eliminated and the site plan redesigned to avoid having any stream
impacts. Riparian Buffer impacts were limited to a single aerial (no stream impact) perpendicular crossing. Lot
configurations were redesigned and open space enlarged to avoid previously proposed lot fill in disjunct wetland
areas (immediately SE of the intersection of Sugar Pine Drive and Fire Oak Drive; SE of the intersection of Fire
Oak Drive and Three Oaks Trail; and east of Echo Ridge Drive).
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any
accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing and temporary basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into
the streams and wetlands. Headwalls will be constructed in several locations so as to further reduce impacts. The
construction of the project will be phased so as to avoid a large amount of bare soil and decrease the likelihood of
sediment runoff.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

supplement forms and other documentation shall be provided.
What type of SCM are you providing?
r- Level Spreader
r- Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r- Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
