<br />ATTACHEMENT A <br />TO BE COMPLETED ONLY IF INVENTORY SITES ARE IDENTIFIED IN I.E. <br /> <br />(ATTACH ADDITIONAL SHEETS IF NECESSARY) <br /> <br />(1) a. Impact on Resource from Proposed Development <br /> <br />• Based on preliminary designs, m inor impacts will result from the proposed <br />development due to road crossings, utility easements, and vegetative <br />plantings. The preliminary road crossings have been aligned as perpendicular <br />crossings to minimize impacts to jurisdictional features and buffers to the <br />extent possible. It is assumed that the powerline easement will be considered <br />as a temporary impact to wetlands and streams and permanent impacts not <br />requiring mitigation within the buffer. Additionally, vegetative buffer plantings <br />will be required along Mt Willing Road within both wetlands and riparian <br />buffers and are assumed to be considered temporary impacts. As the project <br />moves to final design, impacts will be reduced further and avoided as <br />possible. A preliminary impacts map is included with this submittal in the plan <br />set (Sheet C3.1). Based on the preliminary design, proposed impacts to <br />streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers are as follows: <br /> <br />Jurisdictional Streams: 114 linear feet (LF) <br />Wetlands: 0.17 acres <br />Ponds: 0.06 acres <br />Neuse Buffer Zone 1: 9,676 square feet (SF) <br />Neuse Buffer Zone 2: 7,644 square feet (SF) <br />OC Buffer Zone 3: 33,222 square feet (SF) <br /> <br /> b. Proposed Mitigation <br /> <br />Compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts is not anticipated to be <br />required by the US Army Corps of Engineers or the NC Division of Water <br />Resources due to the minimal permanent impacts resulting from the project. <br />98
