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 site is located within a Town of Cary park (Annie Jones Park) and a wooded corridor extending north and east to McCloud Court. An existing gravel greenway is currently
present within the approximate alignment of the proposed greenway. The surrounding areas consist of single-family residential subdivisions constructed in the 80s and 90s.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r^ Yes r No R Unknown

4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to replace an existing gravel greenway and stairs with a paved greenway and handicapped -accessible ramp to allow better access to the greenway by
more citizens.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will entail removal of the existing 10-foot wide gravel greenway; replacement of a 20-foot, 24-inch HDPE stream culvert with a 20-foot, 24-inch RCP culvert with a headwall;
construction of retaining walls to allowfor ADA accessible grades; and construction of a paved six-foot wide greenway trail. Stream impacts are temporary (replacement of existing
culvert with new culvert), wetland impact (fill slope), and temporary and permanent buffer impacts. All buffer impacts will be offset by the removal of the existing impervious trail. Typical
construction equipment (backhoe/trackhoe, grading equipment) will be used to construct the new greenway trail.

61. Comments:
Existing impervious (existing gravel trail) is present in the project area. The newtrail will be constructed within the footprint of the existing trail as much
as possible. Where the old trail is not followed, the gravel will be removed and the area returned to pervious ground. Actual impacts are Z1 - net gain
of 1,051 SF of impervious surface, and Z2 - net gain of 867 SF of impervious. Please note all impacts and impervious removal are located within
sanitary sewer easements.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed trail will be constructed to follow the footprint of the existing trail as much as possible. Tree removal will be minimal and limited to trees
within the area of disturbance for the trail grading, also within sewer easement. Note that impervious removal exceeds new impervious buffer impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Culvert replacement will be conducted during a period of low/no flow (intermittent stream). Access to the project area followed existing greenway/sewer
easements to avoid removal of vegetation and compacting the riparian areas.
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:

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?
