4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point is situated in the Outer Coastal Plain physiographic province. This area is a relatively flat coastal plain crossed by many broad, shallow
valleys that have Widely meandering rivers and streams. The project site is along the existing MCAS Cherry Point Airfield.
The project area to the north of the airfield contains forested land With roads and borrow pits scattered throughout. The southern portion of this area is comprised of roughly equal parts
of regularly maintained grassland and developed areas.
The remainder of the project area to the east, West and south is regularly maintained grass, since this area is located in the clear zone immediately adjacent to the airfield. There is also
a small amount of forested area. Portions of these areas also contain some paved access roads, fencing and taxiways as well as linear drainage features.
The entire site is bounded on the West by development associated With airfield operations including building and impervious area
A total of 20 Wetlands, comprising 17.297 acres and two non -jurisdictional borrow pits equaling 0.641 acres were identified in the project Work areas. The identified wetlands are
primarily palustrine forested and palustrine emergent. Three perennial streams (5,258 linear feet), two jurisdictional tributaries (4,836 linear feet), and two non -jurisdictional ditch
features (3,530 linear feet) were identified within the Airfield areas.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*

This USMC airfield is identified as a Level II restricted area and must meet associated physical security requirements. These requirements include clearly defined and protected
perimeters and access control points. Currently the MCAS Cherry Point airfield does not meet the physical security requirements for a Level II restricted area; this project provides Level
II security upgrades for the airfield. The security upgrades are as required by the Marine Corps Order (MCO) 5530.14A Marine Corps Physical Security Program Manual, dated June 5,
2009.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project security upgrades include security fencing, patrol roads, automated vehicle gates, pedestrian turnstiles and associated utilities. Relocation of existing paved facilities, such
as the Fuel Truck Containment area and portions of Mary Lou Road that are impacted by the upgrades are also included in the project. Building 3891, an open sided structure located
inside the FRCE fenced compound, Will be demolished and replaced. The project includes associated demolition, site improvements, stormwater management, and utility connections.
Clearing in some areas will be provided for construction equipment access. Typical construction equipment will be used for installation of all proposed work with specific notes for
construction Within the wetland areas provided on the plans.

2h. Comments:
For some sheets, the permanent impacts to wetland were less than 0.001 (due to the small nature of the fence posts). The actual impacts are shown
on the plan sheets, however the ePCN form would only allow 3 digits after the decimal place. Actual calculated impacts are 0.415 acres.
Temporary wetland impacts are due to the removal of vegetation and minor disturbances during the installation of the fence. No temporary fills will
occur.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation u'
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
During the design process multiple layouts were considered. The final design located the fence and road elements to provide the least amount of
impact to natural resource areas as possible, while still providing the security measures required for a Level II restricted area.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction techniques utilized to lessen wetland impact include: using sheeting at patrol road wetland crossings; cutting the vegetation to no less
than 4 inches in height; minimizing soil disturbance to the fence post/sheeting locations; spreading excavation spoils evenly in the fence post vicinity;
using matting for equipment and material laydown areas; using low contact pressure equipment capable of performing work in soft soil conditions.
Specific notes for construction within the wetland areas are provided on the plans that detail these techniques.
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 r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Impacts to Waters of the US as a result of the project have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable while still complying with the Marine Corps Order for Physical Security which
has required the project. Impacts to wetlands are minimal, and in most rases will not impact function (fence posts). Impacts from the patrol road have been minimized to the maximum
extent practicable.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) U
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?
