C. Proposed
Impacts Inventory
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
la,
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The impacts proposed are swales for the detention pond discharges. They do not run longitudinally with the
stream, but intersect it at as close to 90 degrees as possible. Rip Rap aprons and check dams will be utilized
to minimize the discharge velocities to the stream.

Avoidance and Minimization
la,
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The impacts proposed are swales for the detention pond discharges. They do not run longitudinally with the
stream, but intersect it at as close to 90 degrees as possible. Rip Rap aprons and check dams will be utilized
to minimize the discharge velocities to the stream.
1 b.
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques. A large/long reach excavator and man power would be used onsite to minimize the amount of
disturbance within the buffer.
