Re: Determination of No Practical Alternative for Stream Buffer disturbance for Printworks Mill —
1700 Fairview Street
Dear Mr. Luckey:
In accordance with the State of North Carolina's Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0267 — Jordan Water Sunnly
Nutrient Strategy: Protection of Existing Riparian Buffers., any applicant that intends to disturb Zone 1
and Zone 2 of the stream buffer must show that there is "No Practical Alternative" than to impact the
stream buffer. The applicant submitted a "No Practical Alternative Request" on June 28, 2018 stating that
the permanent stream buffer disturbance in Zone 1 and Zone 2 was necessary for the installation of a
proposed road impact other than Crossing (Fire Lane) and temporary impact in Zone 2 for a sanitary
sewer line to the property referenced above.
The City of Greensboro determined that the permanent impact of approximately 136 sf in Zone 1 and
1,539 sf in Zone 2 of the Jordan Watersupply Watershed stream buffer was necessary to install the Fire
Lane and that there was no practical alternative to move the roadway outside of the stream buffer as the
Jordan Rules require.
The surface area impact information in square footage, including mitigation area is as follows:

Zone 2 Impacts

Zone 1 — Multiplier of 3
Zone 2 — Multiplier of 1.5

Zone 2 - 2,671 sf
Zone 2 — 1,539sf x 1.5= 2308.5sf
Information submitted by the applicant explained how the impacts have been reduced to the maximum
extent practicable. Please be advised the applicant should secure any other required federal, state, and
local certifications before the project proceeds. Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as
specified in the table above. The City has received an acceptance letter from the North Carolina
Mitigation Services to meet this mitigation requirement. Until the North Carolina Mitigation Services
receives and clears your payment, and proof of payment has been provided to this Office, no impacts
specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. For accounting purposes, this Authorization
Certificate authorizes payment to the North Carolina Mitigation Services to meet the compensatory
mitigation requirement shown on the table above.
