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. -- These proposed ponds are to be used by the local fire protection agency in case of fire and are to insure safety to the future residence. In order to minimise impacts to the streams sediment control measures will be taken at the inlet of a downstream culvert by using a rock filter consisting of washed stone. Silt fence shall be placed around the toe of the dam until the surface is stabilized. Updated 11/12005 Page 9 of 13 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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. N/A 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP).

In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at (919) 733-1786. Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 1 of 13 Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits. The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application. USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms, photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 67 Fed. Reg. 2090 (Jan. 15, 2002), available at http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/functions/cw/cecwo/reg/2002nwps.pdf.

Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401 Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htmi. The fee must be attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules, the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional requested information, or denial.

Cumulative impact concern Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes, please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold, please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know. Thanks!
