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. An easement across Forest Service land is the only access to the site from Garnet Road (which served several former homesites). An existing unimproved road crossed Long Branch twice with no culverts. To minimize disturbance to the stream and site, the existing road bed was improved with culvert crossings to county subdivision road standards. The road alignment and stream crossings followed the previously approved roadway drawings that were given to the present Owners the previous property owner. The Owner mistakenly assumed that all requisite (continued on attached sheet). 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. Page 9 of 12 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.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) (continued from Page 9 of 12) permits were in place when the approved erosion control permit and Forest Service encroachment agreement was transferred to Longbranch Properties, LLC from the prior owner. The existing logging roads and stream crossings were incorporated into the road and lot layout to minimize site and stream disturbance. Erosion control measures and storm drainage pipes have been installed to prevent further sedimentation of Long Branch and its tributaries. Restoration work will be performed in the dry to prevent sedimentation downstream. Long Branch will be piped during the placement of boulders and the installation of the drop/pools. VIII. Mitigation 1. Description of Proposed Work (continued from Page 10 of 12): 3. Enhance 180 If of tributary to Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 4. Enhance 420 If of Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 5. Remove deposited sediment (by hand) 1500 If of Long Branch. Table 'A' summarizes the mitigation requirements.

The stream channel is unstable with down cutting streambed and undercutting and collapsing stream banks where the stream passes through an area that was clear cut by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The stream banks will be laid back and boulder armoring will be installed to stabilize the stream banks. Long Branch will be piped temporarily during construction of the new channel to prevent sedimentation downstream. The Owner proposes enhancing 420 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. The Owner proposes enhancing 1500 If of stream by removing deposited sediment in the stream. The sediment was deposited by earthwork activities by the present and previous property owner. The sediment will be removed by hand using shovels and 5 gal. buckets and placed on high ground and stabilized with permanent vegetation. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plans. Unnamed Tributarv to Long Branch Unnamed tributary to Long Branch is a first order stream that originates from springheads 1300 If upstream from the confluence with Long Branch. The stream was piped for 100 If with 12" cmp by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream by removing the existing culvert and rerouting the stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The proposed channel will be constructed prior to diverting the water from the existing stream channel into the new stream channel. The Owner proposes enhancing 180 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream.

Property size (acres): 185 acres 7. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): Long,, Branch 8. River Basin: Little Tennessee (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.) 9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Prior to development the site consisted of pine & hardwood forest with logging roads with culverts at stream crossings. Presently subdivision roads have been constructed with improved culvert stream crossings. Page 6 of 12 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The subdivision consists of developing 95+/- lots & 35.000 +/- linear feet of roads The roads & stream crossings will be constructed using trackhoes & articulating dump trucks Some accumulation of sediment from road construction has occurred. The accumulated sediment has been removed by hand using shovels & 5 gal. buckets. Some stream bank erosion has occurred at the confluence of 2 culverts Boulder drop structures are proposed to reduce the velocity of the stream & boulder reinforcement of the stream bank are proposed to stabilize the stream bank. The stream work will be accomplished using a trackhoe. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The construction of roads is for residential subdivision development. The stream mitigation is proposed to correct stream sedimentation & to stabilize a stream channel. IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. No future permit requests are anticipated. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. Page 7 of 12 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts to perennial and inter- mittent streams with culverts for subdivision roads. 2. Individually list wetland impacts below: Wetland Impact Site Number (indicate on ma) Type of Impact* Area of Impact (acres) Located within 100-year Floodplain** (yes/no) Distance to Nearest Stream (linear feet) Type of Wetland*** List each impact separately and identity temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. ** 100-Year floodplains are identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FH2M), or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps. Maps are available through the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616, or online at http://www.fema_pov. *** List a wetland type that best describes wetland to be impacted (e.g., freshwater/saltwater marsh, forested wetland, beaver pond, Carolina Bay, bog, etc.) Indicate if wetland is isolated (determination of isolation to be made by USACE only). List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 acres Total area of wetland impact proposed: 0 acres 3.

Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap, dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain), stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. * * Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at www.usgs.gov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.tooozone.com, www.mapguest.com, etc.).

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.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): 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. An easement across Forest Service land is the only access to the site from Garnet Road (which served several former homesites). An existing unimproved road crossed Long Branch twice with no culverts. To minimize disturbance to the stream and site, the existing road bed was improved with culvert crossings to county subdivision road standards.

The Owner mistakenly assumed that all requisite (continued on attached sheet). 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. Page 9 of 12 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.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htmi. 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. 1. Restore 100 if of tributary to Long Branch by removing existing 12"cmp and reestablishing stream channel with drops and pools. 2. Retore 100 if of Long Branch by installing boulder drop/pools and boulder streambank stabilization . (continued on attached sheet) 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP).

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) (continued from Page 9 of 12) permits were in place when the approved erosion control permit and Forest Service encroachment agreement was transferred to Longbranch Properties, LLC from the prior owner. The existing logging roads and stream crossings were incorporated into the road and lot layout to minimize site and stream disturbance. Erosion control measures and storm drainage pipes have been installed to prevent further sedimentation of Long Branch and its tributaries. Restoration work will be performed in the dry to prevent sedimentation downstream. Long Branch will be piped during the placement of boulders and the installation of the drop/pools. VI11. Mitigation 1. Description of Proposed Work (continued from Page 10 of 12): 3. Enhance 180 If of tributary to Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 4. Enhance 420 If of Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 5. Remove deposited sediment (by hand) 1500 If of Long Branch. Table 'A' summarizes the mitigation requirements.

The stream channel is unstable with down cutting streambed and undercutting and collapsing stream banks where the stream passes through an area that was clear cut by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The stream banks will be laid back and boulder armoring will be installed to stabilize the stream banks. Long Branch will be piped temporarily during construction of the new channel to prevent sedimentation downstream. The Owner proposes enhancing 420 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. The Owner proposes enhancing 1500 If of stream by removing deposited sediment in the stream. The sediment was deposited by earthwork activities by the present and previous property owner. The sediment will be removed by hand using shovels and 5 gal. buckets and placed on high ground and stabilized with permanent vegetation. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plans. Unnamed Tributary to LonLy Branch Unnamed tributary to Long Branch is a first order stream that originates from springheads 1300 If upstream from the confluence with Long Branch. The stream was piped for 100 If with 12" cmp by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream by removing the existing culvert and rerouting the stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The proposed channel will be constructed prior to diverting the water from the existing stream channel into the new stream channel. The Owner proposes enhancing 180 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plan. s? O /yam O d? Oc-? ?`o 00 I W ?O Z z Z) N n H LLJ W to zZzz? 0 Q Z U V gg<gQ?zzWN? Z WWWW ggznzoc ZinvinnW °?3 > Q ?

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Prior to development the site consisted of pine & hardwood forest with logging roads with culverts at stream crossings. Presently subdivision roads have been constructed with improved culvert stream crossings. Page 6 of 12 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The subdivision consists of developing 95+/- lots & 35,000 +/- linear feet of roads. The roads & stream crossings will be constructed using trackhoes & articulating dump trucks Some accumulation of sediment from road construction has occurred. The accumulated sediment has been removed by hand using shovels & 5 gal. buckets. Some stream bank erosion has occurred at the confluence of 2 culverts. Boulder drop structures are proposed to reduce the velocity of the stream & boulder reinforcement of the stream bank are proposed to stabilize the stream bank. The stream work will be accomplished using a trackhoe. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The construction of roads is for residential subdivision development. The stream mitigation is proposed to correct stream sedimentation & to stabilize a stream channel. IV.

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. An easement across Forest Service land is the only access to the site from Garnet Road (which served several former homesites). An existing unimproved road crossed Long Branch twice with no culverts. To minimize disturbance to the stream and site, the existing road bed was improved with culvert crossings to county subdivision road standards. The road alignment and stream crossings followed the previously approved roadway drawings that were given to the present Owner by the previous property owner. The Owner mistakenly assumed that all requisite (continued on attached sheet). 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. Page 9 of 12 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.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) (continued from Page 9 of 12) permits were in place when the approved erosion control permit and Forest Service encroachment agreement was transferred to Longbranch Properties, LLC from the prior owner. The existing logging roads and stream crossings were incorporated into the road and lot layout to minimize site and stream disturbance. Erosion control measures and storm drainage pipes have been installed to prevent further sedimentation of Long Branch and its tributaries. Restoration work will be performed in the dry to prevent sedimentation downstream. Long Branch will be piped during the placement of boulders and the installation of the drop/pools. V111. Mitigation 1. Description of Proposed Work (continued from Page 10 of 12): 3. Enhance 180 If of tributary to Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 4. Enhance 420 If of Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 5. Remove deposited sediment (by hand) 1500 If of Long Branch. Table 'A' summarizes the mitigation requirements.

The stream channel is unstable with down cutting streambed and undercutting and collapsing stream banks where the stream passes through an area that was clear cut by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The stream banks will be laid back and boulder armoring will be installed to stabilize the stream banks. Long Branch will be piped temporarily during construction of the new channel to prevent sedimentation downstream. The Owner proposes enhancing 420 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. The Owner proposes enhancing 1500 If of stream by removing deposited sediment in the stream. The sediment was deposited by earthwork activities by the present and previous property owner. The sediment will be removed by hand using shovels and 5 gal. buckets and placed on high ground and stabilized with permanent vegetation. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plans. 4 J Unnamed Tributarv to Long Branch Unnamed tributary to Long Branch is a first order stream that originates from springheads 1300 If upstream from the confluence with Long Branch. The stream was piped for 100 If with 12" cmp by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream by removing the existing culvert and rerouting the stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The proposed channel will be constructed prior to diverting the water from the existing stream channel into the new stream channel. The Owner proposes enhancing 180 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream.

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. An easement across Forest Service land is the onlv access to the site from Garnet Road (which served several former homesites). An existing unimproved road crossed Long Branch twice with no culverts. To minimize disturbance to the stream and site, the existing road bed was improved with culvert crossings to county subdivision road standards. The road alignment and stream crossings followed the previously approved roadway drawings that were given to the present Owner by the previous property owner. The Owner mistakenly assumed that all requisite (continued on attached sheet). 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. Page 9 of 12 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.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.html.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) (continued from Page 9 of 12) permits were in place when the approved erosion control permit and Forest Service encroachment agreement was transferred to Longbranch Properties, LLC from the prior owner. The existing logging roads and stream crossings were incorporated into the road and lot layout to minimize site and stream disturbance. Erosion control measures and storm drainage pipes have been installed to prevent further sedimentation of Long Branch and its tributaries. Restoration work will be performed in the dry to prevent sedimentation downstream. Long Branch will be piped during the placement of boulders and the installation of the drop/pools. VIII. Mitigation 1. Description of Proposed Work (continued from Page 10 of 12): 3. Enhance 180 If of tributary to Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 4. Enhance 420 If of Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 5. Remove deposited sediment (by hand) 1500 If of Long Branch. Table 'A' summarizes the mitigation requirements.

The stream channel is unstable with down cutting streambed and undercutting and collapsing stream banks where the stream passes through an area that was clear cut by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The stream banks will be laid back and boulder armoring will be installed to stabilize the stream banks. Long Branch will be piped temporarily during construction of the new channel to prevent sedimentation downstream. The Owner proposes enhancing 420 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. The Owner proposes enhancing 1500 If of stream by removing deposited sediment in the stream. The sediment was deposited by earthwork activities by the present and previous property owner. The sediment will be removed by hand using shovels and 5 gal. buckets and placed on high ground and stabilized with permanent vegetation. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plans. f 4 Unnamed Tributarv to Lone Branch Unnamed tributary to Long Branch is a first order stream that originates from springheads 1300 If upstream from the confluence with Long Branch. The stream was piped for 100 If with 12" cmp by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream by removing the existing culvert and rerouting the stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The proposed channel will be constructed prior to diverting the water from the existing stream channel into the new stream channel. The Owner proposes enhancing 180 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream.

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.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): 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. An easement across Forest Service land is the only access to the site from Garnet Road (which served several former homesites). An existing; unimproved road crossed Long Branch twice with no culverts. To minimize disturbance to the stream and site, the existing road bed was improved with culvert crossings to county subdivision road standards. The road alignment and stream crossings followed the previously approved roadway drawings that were given to the present Owner by the previous property owner. The Owner mistakenly assumed that all requisite (continued on attached sheet). 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. Page 9 of 12 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.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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. 1. Restore 100 if of tributary to Long Branch by removing existing 12"cm and reestablishing stream channel with drops and pools. 2. Retore 100 if of Long Branch by installing boulder drop//pools and boulder streambank stabilization . (continued on attached sheet) 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.

Cumulative culvert/stream impacts on U.S. Forest Service land: 230 If Cumulative culvert/stream impacts on Garnet Ridge Preserve land: 280 If VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) (continued from Page 9 of 12) permits were in place when the approved erosion control permit and Forest Service encroachment agreement was transferred to Longbranch Properties, LLC from the prior owner. The existing logging roads and stream crossings were incorporated into the road and lot layout to minimize site and stream disturbance. Erosion control measures and storm drainage pipes have been installed to prevent further sedimentation of Long Branch and its tributaries. Restoration work will be performed in the dry to prevent sedimentation downstream. Long Branch will be piped during the placement of boulders and the installation of the drop/pools. VI11. Mitigation 1. Description of Proposed Work (continued from Page 10 of 12): 3. Enhance 180 If of tributary to Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 4. Enhance 420 If of Long Branch by replanting trout buffer. 5. Remove deposited sediment (by hand) 1500 If of Long Branch. Table 'A' summarizes the mitigation requirements.

The stream channel is unstable with down cutting streambed and undercutting and collapsing stream banks where the stream passes through an area that was clear cut by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The stream banks will be laid back and boulder armoring will be installed to stabilize the stream banks. Long Branch will be piped temporarily during construction of the new channel to prevent sedimentation downstream. The Owner proposes enhancing 420 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. The Owner proposes enhancing 1500 If of stream by removing deposited sediment in the stream. The sediment was deposited by earthwork activities by the present and previous property owner. The sediment will be removed by hand using shovels and 5 gal. buckets and placed on high ground and stabilized with permanent vegetation. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plans. Unnamed Tributarv to LonLy Branch Unnamed tributary to Long Branch is a first order stream that originates from springheads 1300 If upstream from the confluence with Long Branch. The stream was piped for 100 If with 12" cmp by a prior property owner. The Owner proposes restoring 100 If of stream by removing the existing culvert and rerouting the stream to create a stable channel. The restored stream will be constructed as a Type 'B' stream. Boulder drop structures will be installed to create step pools to flatten the stream gradient and reduce the water velocity. The proposed channel will be constructed prior to diverting the water from the existing stream channel into the new stream channel. The Owner proposes enhancing 180 If of stream to provide shade cover and a vegetative buffer for the stream. Riparian vegetation will be planted within the 25' buffer on both sides of the stream. Please refer to attached restoration and enhancement plan. r O Z m r Z rn r- m m 0 -v m X na r ? CO Oo 2V ?
