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:*
The project is located in the rural Cove Creek watershed. Primary land uses in the vicinity are forestry, small scale agricultural operations, and rural residences. There is an emsting
house, outbuilding and driveways on the parcel. The upper reaches of the parcel are forested, while the flat roadside area is primarily an open wetland with herbaceous wetland
vegetation.

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to create a parking area allowing access to a property owned by Carolina Climbers Coalition. The Climbers Coalition property lacks road frontage and, as
a recreational site used for rock climbing and bouldering, requires a parking area.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
A 3,008 sq It gravel parking lot will be constructed off of Laurel Branch Rd to allow access to the Carolina Climbers Coalition Property located further uphill. Parking lot construction will
result in impacting 0.04 acres of wetland on site. Dump trucks and grading machinery will be used to construct the proposed parking area.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation �=
1. Avoidance and Minimization

Ia. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The parking area easement is very compact making complete avoidance of the wetland impossible. Alternate parking lot designs were evaluated and
the one presented in the site plans offered the most compact site footprint with the fewest impacts.The location was taken as far away from the
wetland as the topography and parking easement would allow (to the existing ROW). Ingres/egress for the parking lot was designed to completely
avoid the wetlands on the property, and will utilize an existing road to avoid further impacting the wetland.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Strict erosion and sediment control standards will be upheld during construction to further reduce impacts to aquatic resources. All heavy equipment
will be kept out of the wetland during construction except where absolutely necessary to construct the parking area. All equipment will be new and/or in
very good condition to minimize hydraulic leaks. Disturbance of the wetland shall be held to the minimum necessary to allow for construction of the
parking area. Any disturbed areas will be stabilized and seeded within one day of completion of construction activities. Ingress and egress to the
project site will be via an existing road so as not to disturb more wetlands in the construction process.
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:
Cumulative wetland impacts did not meet compensatory mitigation threshold requirements (impact =-0.04 acres)
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
If no, explain why:
The project is outside of NC Riparian Buffer Protection areas.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes r No
Comments:
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federallstate/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
r Yes r No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 21-1.0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 21-1.1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15ANCAC 2B.0200)?*
r Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
No additional development is planned or anticipated at this site following parking area construction.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*

r Yes r No
r Unknown
51. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The USFWS online critical habitat mapper was used to determine that the nearest critical habitat to the project site is over 12 miles away. BFEC
Completed the USFW IPaC regulatory review process. BFEC then reviewed specific information for each species on the Raleigh Ecological Services
Field Office page and USFW fact sheets. Habitat requirements are not met for the majority of the species on the list, due to specific habitat
requirements such as high elevation rocky outcrops/summits or spruce fir forest. No known caves are located at the project site. No bat maternity
roosts are known on the site.
