D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The applicant requested a delineation of surface waters and wetlands prior to preliminary plan development to avoid
impacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable. Specifically, the project engineer, Trenton Stewart, PE,
adjusted the road alignment to avoid impacting wetlands and an unnamed tributary to UT1. Due to the dissected
topography of the site, three stream crossings are unavoidable to access areas of high ground on the property. Please
refer to the letter attached to a previous application by Trenton Stewart, PE explaining why using a bridge to cross Cub
Creek is not feasible.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All proposed road crossings have been designed perpendicular to the stream channel with 5-foot-high headwalls to
reduce the impact to the channel. Road grades were also adjusted to further reduce the linear footage of stream channel
impacted by approximately 49 linear feet. Mr. Stewart's letter also contains additional justification of the road and culvert
design and other efforts taken to minimize stream channel impacts such as using a rip rap stilling basin rather than
standard velocity reduction design and implementation of a special construction sequence to minimize exposed areas.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for Yes ? No
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
2b. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply): DWQ Corps
? Mitigation bank
2c. If yes, which mitigation option will be used for this Payment to in-lieu fee program
project?
Permittee Responsible Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank:
3b. Credits Purchased (attach receipt and letter) Type Quantity
3c. Comments:
4. Complete if Making a Payment to In-lieu Fee Program
4a. Approval letter from in-lieu fee program is attached. Yes
4b. Stream mitigation requested: 376 linear feet
4c. If using stream mitigation, stream temperature: warm ? cool ?cold
4d. Buffer mitigation requested (DWQ only): square feet
4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4f. Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested: acres
4h. Comments: The applicant proposes to pay 2:1 mitigation for impacts to perennial stream channels with more than minimal
aquatic function. Of the 752 linear feet of stream channel mitigation required, 376 would be satisfied through payment to NC
Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The remaining 376 linear feet of mitigation required would be satisfied through on-site
preservation.
5. Complete if Using a Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
