Several short office meetings have been held with DWO and USAGE staff to try to address reQUlatory concerns with the initial submittal. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. No additional permits are anticipated at this time VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, Page 3 of 11 permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Proposed permanent wetland impacts total 0.4750 acre and proposed permanent perennial stream channel impacts total 300 LF. Temporary wetland impacts total 0.3294 acre and temporary stream channel impacts total 129 LF. Permanent impacts resulting from the installation of road crossings need to provide access to upland areas on the property and lot fill (0.05890 acrel. Temporarv impacts will result from the installation of utilities needed to provide service to the entire property. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet}. Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. There are no isolated wetlands or streams on this property. 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface azea: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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. Page 6 of 11 The applicant is proposing 2 conventional culverted road crossings of creeks (impacts P-3 and P-5~ These two crossings will utilize headwalls in an effort to further minimize stream and buffer impacts. The impacts associated with impact P-2 will result from the installation of pilings needed for a bridged crossing. By using the bridge, stream impacts in this area will be completely avoided. Several wetland impacts resulting from the installation of roads (P-1, P-4, P-6, and P-17) will also be minimized by using headwalls. The main entrance to the property from New Hope Road has been shifted from a previously permitted entrance location to further reduce the impacts of P-1. The previouslyproposed impacts for the P-1 location were 0.4641 acre, but have now been reduced to 0.1990 acre. Impacts P-1, P-4, and P-5 are due to the main road bisecting the property. This road is on the City of Ralei~ 's thorou fare plan and is required by the city to connect New Hope Road with Barwell Road. Temporary impacts resulting from utility line installation have been reduced by crossing at perpendicular angles and b,~g_only 30-foot wide easements. Golf cart crossings of streams, wetlands, and buffers will utilize bridges instead of culverts and fill. The crossings will only require 10' of pavement and will be laid out so as to avoid cutting any large trees to aid in retaining stable riparian buffers. 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) Page 7 of 11 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. The applicant will utilize the Ecosystem Enhancement Program for all re uired mitigation. EEP's acceptance letter will be forwarded to you under separate cover. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

If this is not feasible, The following criteria should be closely adhered to. Verify that the bridge contractor has back-filled the front of the abutment wall Step One where it was excavated during construction. The bridge contractor needs to do this to give some support to the wall with a 1' minimum penetration of the abutment boards below grade. Step Two At this point, if applicable, it is important to make sure that the bridge contractor has secured the tiebacks firmly into undisturbed soil. Step Three It is important that only experienced operators participate in the back filling of any wall. YBC .recommends the use of well draining sandy soil for back filling purposes. Commence with filling the back of the wall. Step Four The. backfill should be placed, or dropped into a position for the material to be {ater distributed during the actual back filling process. It is imperative the material transports (Dump Truck) do not approach within 15' of the wall location in order to avoid undue stress or pressure on the structure. Step Five A dozer should be used. for the distribution of the fill material. It is important not to push the fill against any wall., in order, to avoid undue stress or pressure on the structure. As the dozer approaches the wall with fill, the operator will gradually raise the blade of the machine. This will allow the fill to be placed against the abutment wall without directly pushing against the wall. Alternate equipment usage such as a front-end loader, backhoe, or bobcat can be utilized much the same way as described for a dozer. Ctep Six After the fill has been put in place, it can then be hand compacted. YBC recommends never allowing fill to exceed the elevation of any wall within 10' of the wall location. ,Step Seven Taper off terrain at least five feet beyond each end of the abutment wall. This will not only help prevent erosion and enhance aesthetics, but will insure a longer fife for your structure by correctly utilizing the entire wall surface. * Drawings 5-AHF and 5-AVF illustrate proper abutment wall backfill procedure.
