Corresponding Impact Descriptions Permanent Impacts: Much of the proposed pond retrofit/wetland restoration project will occur within the buffers of either the existing open water area or the existing streams upstream and downstream of the pond/wetland area. February 6, 2019 ati THE UNIVERSITY EWELL Ill of NORTH CAROLINAqP of CHAPEL MILL ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, PC The impacts for the wetland restoration include removal of some trees as shown on the plans, clearing and grubbing, removal of accumulated sediments, regrading to establish appropriate wetland topography, outlet control structures, and repairs and improvements to the existing dam. There is an existing concrete golf tee pad, which will be removed and replaced by installation of a pad of the same size and type on the other side of the proposed wetland. The existing golf tee is within Zone 1, but the future golf tee will be located within the area currently within Zone 2 of the pond buffer. This relocation is noted for the record, but will result in no net buffer impact. A wooden deck/viewing platform is proposed for installation within the wetland and a portion of the access ramp will be within the Zone 1 buffer for the existing pond. The purpose of the viewing platform is to educate groups about the wetland and the impact is necessary for the access to the wetland. The area shown on Figure 1 as "Grading and Revegetation" will have some minimal fill as sediment removed from the pond is placed along the tree line to develop a raised pedestrian path, with a connection over to the zipline landing platform at the edge of Zone 1. Most of the impact within the Zone 2 area will be placement of silt fence and use of that side of the disturbed area as a path for trucks placing the sediment. All of the disturbed area will be revegetated and stabilized with grass. This is not a change of use because the area is used for pedestrian traffic now and the intent is only to build up an intentional pathway using some of the soil material removed from the pond. A series of 4" PVC pipes will be placed at appropriate points under the path to maintain existing diffuse flow patterns through the buffer. The wetland restoration Zone 1 and Zone 2 impact areas, the existing and proposed golf tee locations, the viewing platform, and the impact area for the pedestrian path are all shown on Figure 1. The stream restoration in the upstream reach to address an existing headcut will also impact Zone 1 of the existing stream, as depicted in Figure 2. Temporary Impacts: Figure 1 and Figure 2 also show some areas where the contractor may need to have temporary roads for access to the project areas and/or may place erosion devices such as silt fence or filtration bags. For the pond retrofit, the contractor will utilize the existing gravel road and asphalt path but the asphalt path will likely not be quite wide enough to accommodate the necessary equipment for the project construction. The Zone 1 temporary impact downstream on the fairway will be limited to placement of silt fence around the zipline landing platform. We expect that the contractor will establish paths for construction access from the staging areas to the stream or pond such that some portions of the marked areas may be considered as a temporary impact for a road which will need to be revegetated at the end of the project. The contractor is not permitted to build a temporary road in the sense of placing any gravel or asphalt except that any damaged portions of the existing asphalt path are to be replaced as gravel of the same width upon project completion.
