4f. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Water quality research and improvement project to determine fate of nutrients (i.e. NO3) in surface waters.
4g. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:

The project will inundate approximately -100 If (Farm 1) and -136 If (Farm 2) of perennial stream intermittently
during peak flows to capture and treat water, removing NO3 during base flow and following storm events.
Temporary impacts to Tap -Pam buffers on Farm 2 equate to - 691 ft2. Note, no forested buffers exist in the
historic pond bottom of Pond 4 (Farm 2), therefore Tar Pam buffers will not be impacted. Buffers will be reforested
during this project per treatment design and improving the buffers, gaining 5,000 ft2 of buffers. Farm 1 buffers will
only be temporarily impacted for a construction entrance to the stream.
The treatment collection boxes for Novozyemes are intended to be 4' wide by 8' long by 4' deep concrete boxes.
They are intended to be installed in 8' sections, either as a single unit (Farm1) or combined into a longer
structure, 25' to 32' long (Farm 2/Pond 4). The inlets to the collection boxes are intended to be a series of coiled,
perforated pipes, protected by either geotextile, gravel, or a combination of the two. The collection inlet is intended
to remain
submerged at all times. The water level within the collection boxes is intended to be maintained by the outflow
piping, consisting of the outflow pipe, a 90 degree elbow and a standpipe inserted into the elbow. The desired
upstream water level can be controlled by substitution of different height standpipes to maintain the desired pool
level. Changes in desired standpipe height are very simple and require very minimal operational changes.
In addition to the upstream wetland control water levels, the collection boxes are intended to provide the potential
for additional nitrogen treatment/reduction. The volume within the boxes can accommodate any of the pilot tested
materials, including carboniferous materials (peat, wood chips, etc) or zeolite (sulfur treatment). Any desired
treatment interval is easily achieved by modifying the standpipe height within the confines of the 404/401 permit.
Finally, the collection boxes are intend to have an installed lid, and function as an storm overflow. This will account
for the normal stream flow of 2-10 gpm, prevent any installed treatment materials from washing downstream, and
accommodate storm flows greatly in excess of the normal treatment flow. Water exiting the system will be controlled
using a natural channel design structure to protect the stream and structure during peak flow events.

(square feet) (square feet)
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
The project minimized impacts to waters in order to achieve mabmum water quality potential. The design chosen
and orientation within the channel also minimized impacts in both UTs. The impoundment was minimized and
located in specific reaches to minimize inundation depths and disturbance to eAsting channel (i.e. near relic dam
structure for Farm 2). Inundation depths were minimized to reduce flooding and eliminate impacts to wetlands. A
bypass design for storm flows will be implemented to minimize inundation. Bankfull benches will be installed at
Farm 2 to all for infrequent flooding events as well as reforest and vegetate the entire project area including
temporary inundation areas for storm events.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*

Temporary construction entrances will be used as well as existing entrances where possible to minimize impacts to
buffers. Construction entrances will be placed to minimize excavation and disturbance to existing topography.
Construction will be completed under dry conditions to minimize erosion and impacts to soils. Equipment used will
minimize in stream disturbances by working outside of the stream channel as much as possible. Bank -full benches
as well as natural channel grade control outlet structures will be installed to minimize in stream impacts during and
following construction.
