PURPOSE and NEED: ❑ Commercial ❑Industrial® Public ❑ Private l Other Describe the reason or purpose of your project;Include a brief description of the overall project. Continue to Block 16 to detail each work activity and overall project. The City of McCall intends to relocate Parallel Taxiway A to achieve a 300-foot separation between Runway 16-34 and the taxiway in order to meet Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)design criteria for a B-II airport.The current airport master plan identifies the relocation of Parallel Taxiway A as a high- priority safety project.Existing aprons and taxiways will be reconfigured for compatibility with the relocated parallel taxiway. NWW Form 1145-1/I DWR 3804-B Page 1 of 4 16. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EACH ACTIVITY WITHIN OVERALL PROJECT.Specifically indicate portions that take place within waters of the United States.including wetlands: Include dimensions;equipment,construction,methods;erosion,sediment and turbidity controls;hydrological changes: general stream/surface water flows,estimated winterlsunsner flows;barrow sources,disposal locations eta: The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing Parallel Taxiway A and reconstruction of the taxiway approximately 100 feet east of its current location.Aquatic and wetland resources in the project area include: I)an Airport Drainage Ditch that flows south/parallel to the existing taxiway and receives water from a snow storage basin area(at upper extent),stormwater runoff,and inflow from intersecting irrigation ditches;and 2)Irrigation Ditches that flow from east to west(across pasture towards the airport)until they intersect with the Airport Drainage Ditch;in some areas,water from the irrigation ditches has spread out into adjacent low-lying areas along the fence to form wetlands.All of these aquatic resources are ultimately connected to the North Fork Payette River via culverts as the water flows west through the airport A wetland delineation was completed in 2009 under NWW-2009.199- 1301 and updated on September 5,2019. The recent delineation identified 0.49 acres of PEM wetlands and 0.15 acres of PSS wetlands associated with the Airport Drainage Ditch;and 1.24 acres of PEM wetlands associated with the Ditches. Project elements,as depicted in Sheets 2-4,include: 1)excavation of new Airport Drainage Ditch location,muting of water and filling of existing ditch;2) construction of culverts in relocated taxiway location;3)demolition of old taxiway;and 3)construction of the new Parallel Taxiway A using material from old taxiway and imported structural fill.The demolition and construction of the taxiway is expected to be completed in phases from north to south.All wetlands and Waters of the I united States("waters")associated with the Airport Drainage Ditch will be relocated east of the new Taxiway A,which include 4,354 linear feet of"waters",0,49 acres(21,344 SF)PEM,and 0.15 acres(6,534)PSS.A portion of the wetlands and waters associated with the Irrigation Ditches will be permanently impacted,which include 4,354 linear feet of"waters"and 0.624 acres(42,677 SF)PEM.The project will be constructed in approximately June-December 2020. 17. DESCRIBE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED to AVOID or MEASURES TAKEN to MINIMIZE and/or COMPENSATE for IMPACTS to WATERS of the UNITED STATES,INCLUDING WETLAth_Ui See Instruction Guide for specific details. In order to meet FAA design and safety criteria for the McCall Municipal Airport,alternatives for a 240-foot,300-foot and 400-foot separation between Runway 16-34 and Parallel Taxiway A were analyzed as a part of an Environmental AssessmentlFONSt 2012.It is important to note that these separation values(240,300,and 400)are set by the FAA and cannot be adjusted.The alternatives analysis determined that a 300-foot separation was the preferred option for the airport The alternatives evaluation process included wetlands reviews,in this case wetlands impacts for all alternatives were similar due to the ditch being relocated under all alternatives.As seen on Sheets 2-4,relocation of Parallel Taxiway A is in the same location of the existing airport drainage ditch.The Parallel Taxiway A location will also impact wetlands associated with several irrigation ditches.As such,there are no practical measures to avoid impacts to wetlands or"waters". Ditch relocation includes 1.49 acres of total wetlands impacted,However,over 0.50 acres of wetlands will temporary and additional wetlands will be reestablished in the re-located ditch(not accounted),minimizing net loss of wetlands.Excavated soil from the Airport Drainage Ditch will be salvaged (where possible)and used as replacement planting medium.Wetlands will re-establish with the resident seed base and any additional seeding required will be in accordance with species appropriate for use near airports.The project will require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)and BMPs(Box 26b)designed to minimize impacts to wetlands. 18. PROPOSED MITIGATION STATEMENT or PLAN: If you believe a mitigation plan Is not needed,provide a statement and your reasoning why a mitigation plan is NOT required. Or,attach a copy of your proposed mitigation plan. The project is recommending approval for ditch relocation under ivaticm,ti ide 46 Permit. As permanent impacts are below the 1-acre regulatory threshold, no mitigation would be required by the USACE under the Nationwide 46 Permit.However,mitigation is required by the FAA to meet EA mitigation commitments and the provisions of Executive Order 11990,Protection of Wetlands.A mitigation site has been selected and the mitigation approach is being negotiated with the FAA to satisfy the EA requirements.A copy of the mitigation plan is available upon request 19.TYPE and QUANTITY of MATERIAL(S)to be discharged below the ordinary high water 20.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICTES(BMP's): List the Best Management Practices and describe Mese practices that you wilt use to minimize impacts on water quality and anti-degradation of water quality. All feasible alternatives should be considered-treatment or otherwise. Select an attemative whits will minimize degrading water quality A detailed SWPPP Plan is required and will he developed by the contractor and implemented prior to project construction Wetland impacts will also be minimized through implementation of Best Management Practices(BMPs)to be installed prior to construction activities,maintained during and post-construction.Examples of BMPs that may be used include establishment of staging areas,a stabilized construction entrance,and a concrete wash area,and the use of silt fences,fiber rolls,and matting to protect vegetation and soils from vehicle impacts Wetland areas temporarily impacted by construction and the new ditch location will be re-seeded with native seed mix approved for use on airport property by the FAA. By implementing construction techniques and installation of BMP's,a total of 22,175 sq/ft or 0.50 acres of wetlands will only be temporary impacted while the drainage ditch is relocated. The project will be constructed in approximately June-December 2020 Measures will be taken to complete construction during low flow conditions.If needed,temporary coffer dams will be constructed upstream and downstream to pump water around construction until the new ditch is established Site stabilization will begin immediately following completion of ground disturbing activities that may that may include re-vegetation of wetland and/or upland areas via seeding approved by the FAA. Through the 404 Certification process,water quality certification will stipulate minimum management practices needed to prevent degradation. 21.
