1. Avoidance and Minimization
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.050
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The applicant requested a surface water and wetland delineation prior to designing the proposed expansion to avoid and minimize impacts to
jurisdictional areas to the maAmum extent practicable. Alignment of the access ramp needs to line up vdth the traffic pattern at the existing facility for
75 -foot long, transfer truck maneuverability and access to this area. The impact (W1) is minimized through the use of an area with an existing culvert.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
u

Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation, as
described in the Erosion Control Plan sheets to be reviewed and approved by the Town of Henderson. All work
will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable ground. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet
protection, sediment traps, diversion ditches, tree protection, and other measures as shown on the erosion control plans, clearing only as necessary
to install these devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff -producing rainfall,
but in no case less than once every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures as designed.
An erosion control inspections report is required and will be kept by the owner's representative.
All slopes shall be graded no steeper than the angle that can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures.
No material for construction will be placed in wetlands or streams at any time. Excavation will be limited to the area necessary for site preparation. All
excavated material will be placed on high ground and confined by adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent erosion and sedimentation
into adjacent waters and wetlands.
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?
f Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
There are no stream impacts and permanent wetland impacts have been minimized to 0.05 acre, which is belowthe 0.10 -acre threshold for mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
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
What type of SCM are you providing?
r- Level Spreader
r- Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
F_ Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
P Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
F_ Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
