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:*
S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the property in order to identify
natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Originally the
property included a pond and adjacent wetlands. The pond was drained with the attempt to minimize the area of
jurisdiction because of the small size of the property. Impact #1 is proposed wetland impacts for road impacts.
Total proposed impacts include 0.065 acres of permanent wetland fill. The City of Durham is requiring the
developer to connect to the existing stub on the property to the west. Per the project engineer, retaining walls are
not permitted to hold up a public right-of-way road. Impact #2 is proposed wetland impacts for open space. Total
proposed impacts include 0.020 acres of permanent wetland fill. The open space area is a requirement of the City
of Durham's UDO. This impact has been minimized by avoiding additional permanent loss impacts to the remaining
wetlands onsite, wetland area #3 (i.e. natural wetland area at the head of the old drained pond). If a retaining wall
were to be utilized to minimize the impacts at Impact #2, it would reduce the "area" that could be counted as active
open space and wetland area #3 would be required to be filled. The open space will include active amenities such
as soccer goals as well as a dog park. The dog park area will utilize the entire sloped area as well as some of the
top flat area.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
Sedimentation & Erosion Control measures including, but not limited to construction entrances, silt/tree protection
fence, diversions/check dams, and sediment basins/traps in accordance with requirements set forth and required
by the the Durham City -County Unified Development Ordinance and Approved Sedimentation & Erosion Control
Plan
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?
r Yes G No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The project avoided impacts to the maximum extent practicable. Proposed permanent loss impacts to wetlands are below 0.10 acre. If the
USACE determines that compensatory mitigation is required, the applicant would likely utilize a private mitigation bank or NCDMS and make
a compensatory mitigation payment.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
*** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .***

1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection
Rules?
r Yes r No
For a list of options to meet the diffuse flow requirements, click here.
If no, explain why:
There are no protected riparian buffers on site. Additionally, the proposed development does include an SCM (i.e. wetland & level
spreaderNFS) that will be constructed for nutrient removal and peak flow attenuation.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?*
r Yes
r No
To look up low density requirement click here 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2).
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -
approved local government stormwater program?*
r Yes
r No
Hnt: projects that have vested rights, exemptions, or grandfathering from state or locally irrplerrented storrrwater prograrrs or projects that satisfy state or locally-irrplerrented storrrwater prograrrs
through use of comrunity in -lieu programs should answer no to this question.
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply (check all that apply):*
rJ Local Government
F State
Local Government Stormwater Programs*
G7 Phase II
PF NSW
r- USMP
rJ Water Supply
Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using.*
Durham County
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
r Yes r No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or
DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?
r Yes r No
2b. Is this an after -the -fact permit application?*
r Yes r No

3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact
nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and
Isolated Wetlands Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version
2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts, including projects
such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and
silvicultural operations. The Dogwood Pointe project is a residential development within a developed watershed.
Additionally, the project is located within Durham County's jurisdiction, therefore the adjacent properties that have
potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Neuse River
Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian
buffer area in addition to "diffuse flow' requirements at a minimum and could require Best Management Practices
that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved, 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this
program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post -
construction stormwater management requirements, and 3) the Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program
which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian buffers. We anticipate that the DWR will
advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?
r Yes r Nor N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the
proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
Per the project engineer: Sanitary sewer from this project will connect into the existing City of Durham sanitary
sewer system. The City of Durham will ensure that the treatment plant capacity is not exceeded.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?*
r Yes r No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*
r Yes r No
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
r Yes r No r Unknown

r Yes r No
5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.?
