E. Impact Justification and Mitigation v
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC was hired to locate all jurisdictional wetlands, streams and other waters on the property. Civil Consulants (engineer) completed the site design
with efforts taken to avoid impacts. Impacts were minimized where they could not be avoided. The stormwater BMP discharge channel was relocated to
avoid wetland LW1 and W2.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The project will obtain an erosion control permit and post -construction NPDES stormwater permit from the City to protect downstream waters.
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 G No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are less than 1/10th acre. Impacts resulting to the loss of jurisdictional streams are less than 150 LF.
An NCSAM assessment was done on the stream impact area and the results were that the stream was of "LOW' quality, primarily due to the urban setting and uncontrolled stormwater
runoff entering the stream and maintain riparian areas.
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?
s Yes F No
What type of SCM are you providing?

r Level Spreader
F Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
F Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
W Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
F_ Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
Diffuse Flow Documentation
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)?
f Yes r No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater
program?
r Yes r No
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
17 Local Government r State

Comments:
The project plans to convert the abandoned industrial wastewater concrete lined basin into a sandfilter and wet detention basin stormwater management device. The City of Durham will
review and approve the proposed SMP design.

development. Any unanticipated additional development resulting from this project would be held to the same stormwater management requirements
to protect downstream water quality.

4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r- No r N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated
at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
The wastewater from this project will be sent to the City of Durham sanitary sewer system and treated by the City's wastewater treatment plant. The
City and DWR will ensure that adequate capacity exists before issuing the construction permits and COs for the project.

7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?*
r Yes
r- No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
