Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The applicant proposes to permanently fill approximately 0.473 acres of isolated, non- jurisdictional wetlands for five road crossings and stormwater utility easements and temporarily excavate/ fill approximately 0.14 acres of jurisdictional wetlands for the construction of a utility easement that would flow northwest from the storm water pond towards Howard Road (SR 1245). Dual 60" RCP Pipe will be used at the five proposed wetland crossings for the utility easement. Mechanized land clearing necessary for the construction of the utility line will be kept to the minimum necessarand pre-construction contours will be maintained as near as possible. Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily side cast into 404 wetlands provided that the material is not placed in a manner that is dispersed by currents or other forces but will be backfilled as soon as the utility line is installed! Silt fences will be used to reduce erosion into adjacent wetlands. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To create roads and a stormwater utility easement for the Coves at Newport Subdivision. I IV.

Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. 5. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A I Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. In the site design of this proiect, wetland impacts were avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Wetland impacts have been minimized by crossing at the narrowest points and directing roads around the wetlands as much as possible. Impacts from utili lines will be temporary. Page 10 of 14 VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project;, establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/stringide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Since the utility crossing impacts will be temporary _(not to exceed three months) and no permanent maintenance features will exist through jurisdictional wetlands and isolated wetland impacts have been reduced to 0.473 acres; no mitigation is proposed. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the Page 11 of 14 NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer; mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): IX.
