resources and water quality, 

floodplains, hazardous materials, air 

quality, noise, aesthetics, recreational 

resources, historical and cultural 

resources, socioeconomics, land use, 

public health and safety, energy 

requirements and conservation, natural 

or non-renewable resources, drinking 

waters, and environmental justice. 

Secondary and cumulative 

environmental impacts: Cumulative 

impacts result from the incremental 

impact of the proposed action when 

added to past, present, and reasonably 

foreseeable future actions, regardless of 

what agency or person undertakes the 

action. GIS data and mapping will be 

used to evaluate and quantify secondary 

and cumulative impacts of the proposed 

Project with particular emphasis given 

to wetlands and surface/groundwater 

resources. 

Mitigation: CEQ regulations (40 CFR 

1502.14, 1502.16, and 1508.20) require 

the EIS to include appropriate 

mitigation measures. The USACE has 

adopted, through the CEQ, a mitigation 

policy which embraces the concepts of 

‘‘no net loss of wetlands’’ and project 

sequencing. The purpose of this policy 

is to restore and maintain the chemical, 

biological, and physical integrity of 

‘‘Waters of the United States,’’ 

specifically wetlands. Mitigation of 

wetland impacts has been defined by 

the CEQ to include: avoidance of 

impacts (to wetlands), minimizing 

impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing 

impacts over time, and compensating 

for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20). Each of 

these aspects (avoidance, minimization, 

and compensatory mitigation) must be 

considered in sequential order. As part 

of the EIS, the applicant will develop a 

compensatory mitigation plan detailing 

the methodology and approach to 

compensate for unavoidable impacts to 

waters of the U.S. including streams and 

wetlands. 

NEPA/SEPA Preparation and 

Permitting: Because the proposed Little 

River Reservoir project requires 

approvals from federal and state 

agencies under both the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the State Environmental Policy Act 

(SEPA), a joint Federal and State 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared. The U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers will serve as the lead 

agency for the process. The EIS will be 

the NEPA document for the Corps of 

Engineers (404 permit) and the SEPA 

document for the State of North 

Carolina (401 permit). 

Based on the size, complexity, and 

potential impacts of the proposed 

project, the Applicant has been advised 

by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to 

identify and disclose the environmental 

impacts of the proposed project in an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 

Within the EIS, the Applicant will 

conduct a thorough environmental 

review, including an evaluation of a 

reasonable number of alternatives. After 

distribution and review of the Draft EIS 

and Final EIS, the Applicant 

understands that the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers will issue a Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the project. The ROD 

will document the completion of the EIS 

process and will serve as a basis for 

permitting decisions by Federal and 

State agencies.
