WETLAND CREATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this Wetland Mitigation Plan is to restore areas allegedly impacted by prior construction activities and to create new and substantial off -site wetland areas as part of a settlement of alleged violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act relating to the Froom Ranch/Home Depot Project in San Luis Obispo, California. These new wetlands would be created if and when such a settlement takes place. The plan would be implemented in accordance with the provisions contained herein and the consent decree. A. Location of Home Depot Project The Froom Ranch/Home Depot Project is located on approximately 22.4 acres of land located on _ the west side of Los Osos Valley Road, between Madonna Road and Highway 101, adjacent to the City of San Luis Obispo corporate boundary, in San Luis Obispo County, California. The Home Depot Project site is situated within the Froom Ranch Property and is bordered by Los Osos Valley Road to the northeast, the old Froom Ranch home site to the south, and Irish Hills to the west. Attachment 1, Figure 1 depicts the regional location of the Home Depot Project along the central coast of California. Attachment 1, Figure 2 identifies the vicinity of the Home Depot Project in. relationship to the community of San Luis Obispo. Attachment 1, Figure 3 identifies the location of the Home Depot Project and the Boysen Ranch wetland creation site on the USGS 7.5 Quadrangle Map for San Luis Obispo. An aerial photograph (Attachment 1, Figure 4) illustrates the areas — affected by the Home Depot Project. New wetland areas will be created on Boysen Ranch (Attachment 1, Figure 5), a property owned by Madonna Construction Company (Madonna), located approximately 2 miles from the Home Depot Project site. Certain wetland areas on the Froom Ranch and Boysen Ranch will also be restored. Boysen Ranch is the property on which Madonna agreed to create 4.7 acres of new habitat as part of the mitigation requirement for the originally permitted Home Depot development project (Corps File Number 985007300 -TW). A copy ofthis permit is included as Attachment 2. The proposed area to be utilized in the creation of proposed mitigation is depicted in Attachment 1, Figures 6 and 7. B. Brief Summary of Overall Project The Home Depot Project involved the construction of a 130,000 square -foot store with associated driveways and parking lots. The development project is built on a portion of Froom Ranch that, since 1850, has been used as farmland and pasture for cattle grazing. The development project was designated by the City of San Luis Obispo as a commercial expansion area in 1994 and by the County as a commercial retail space area in 1996. It was formally annexed by the City in May 2001. Madonna obtained a Nationwide Permit No. 26 Headwaters and Isolated Waters Discharges (File No. 985007300 -TW), which authorized permanent and temporary impacts to approximately 2.93 acres of regulated waters (2.88 acres of permanent impacts and 0.05 acres of temporary impacts). The development project included the placement of fill material (earth fill) into regulated waters to raise the elevation of existing topography at the project site. Construction of the development project required grading and the placement of fill material on portions of the 22.4 -acre site. Construction activities have included building the Home Depot facility and parking area on the large parcel (Parcel 1 -31- 2) which is set back from Los Osos Valley Road. Access to the site has been provided by constructing one of three access roads to Los Osos Valley Road across Parcels 3 & 4. The historic drainage swale has been relocated around the development pad, and the stormwater settling basin and drainage channel excavated. The original project included the following mitigation measures to offset permanent and temporary impacts to 2.93 acres of drainage swale, roadside ditch and seasonal wetland habitat: 1) creation of two new off -site mitigation areas (4.7acres) on uplands, adjacent to an existing drainage channel and seasonal wetland habitat; 2) creation of drainage swale and seasonal wetland habitat (0.75 acres) on the western and southem. boundary of the Project site; and 3) restoration of 0.05 acres of drainage swale habitat on -site. Total mitigation amounted to 5.5 acres. On November 17, 2000, Madonna began grading and fill work for the development project. The Boysen Ranch mitigation site work was also performed during this time frame, prior to December 20, 2000. In a letter dated March 14, 2001, the Corps suspended NWP 26 verification for the Project because of alleged violations of the permit's terns and conditions. The alleged violations where associated with grading, excavation and placement of fill into non - permitted jurisdictional wetlands associated with development activities. The Corps claims that during project construction an additional 2.81 acres of jurisdictional seasonal wetland habitat was allegedly filled on Froom Ranch and the site of — the Home Depot Project. Table I describes the permitted and non - permitted acreage identified by the Corps for each alleged violation.

This figure includes the creation of an additional 10.2 acres of wetlands adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of, the 4.7 acres of mitigation habitat associated with the Home Depot Project. The two mitigation locations will adjoin each other. Combining the two mitigation sites will also require that the originally prepared mitigation plan be incorporated into one comprehensive document (this "Wetland Mitigation Plan") for ease in implementation and monitoring. This plan will supersede the "Revised Mitigation/Monitoring Plan" prepared for the Eagle Hardware Site dated August 1999. The total mitigation package of 14.9 acres is being proposed to compensate for 2.93 acres of wetland impacts associated with the originally permitted project and approximately 2.81 acres of assumed wetland fill associated with the alleged violation. The proposed 10.2 acres of created wetland and existing 4.7 acres of habitat would be fenced and a permanent conservation easement placed on the entire site further enhancing the functions of those wetland areas being created. The Corps is currently listed as "Grantee" of the conservation easement which was placed on the 4.7 acres. This Plan assumes that the Corps would be replaced as "Grantee" by the California Department of Fish and Game, a non -profit organization or a third party approved by the Corps. The conservation easement would be revised to include the additional 10.2 acres of wetland for a total of 14.9 acres. A copy of the existing Conservation Easement Deed to be revised is included as Attachment 3. Restoration Activities In addition to creating mitigation wetland habitat at Boysen Ranch, Madonna will also restore several — sites where the alleged violations took place. Areas to be restored at Froom Ranch include the 0.26 acre stock pile location; and the 0.36 acre excavated ditch leading from the constructed detention basin. In addition, the entire southwestern channel beginningbehind (i.e., south of) the new building and wrapping around the west side of the project on Froom Ranch will be filled. All surface water will be directed to the remaining southwestern channel, which leads to the detention basin. The area to be restored at Boysen Ranch includes the 0.34 acre berm. It is the intent of Madonna to restore the original topography of these areas to pre- impact conditions through minor grading activities. Once the areas are graded to pre- impact conditions, the areas would be allowed to restore naturally. The berm surrounding the constructed detention basin at Boysen Ranch will also be redesigned to -33- 9 E include several notches to allow higher flows to sheet flow out of the basin rather than discharge through a single channel (see Attachment 1, Figure 8).

Jurisdictional Area Summary At the request of Madonna, Olberding Environmental conducted an investigation as to the presence and geographic extent of possible wetland areas and/or other types of waters of the United States potentially subject to Corps of Engineers regulation under the Clean Water Act within the project boundary of the Home Depot Project site. Olberding Environmental completed on -site jurisdictional delineations on October 28 and November 18, 1998. A third delineation was jointly conducted by the Corps, Environmental Protection Agency and Natural Resource Conservation Service on June 17, 1999. On June 17, 1999, the NRCS verified the final delineation map for the property (Attachment 4). Finally, field work for a fourth delineation was conducted by Olberding Environmental on March 7 and June 8, 2001 for the section of Froom Ranch south of the existing ranch entrance road (in the vicinity of the stormwater settling basin). This delineation was performed in association with the Los Osos Valley Road Widening Project and in preparation ofa site visitwith the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning the alleged violations. The existing landforms as well as associated vegetation, hydrology, and soil conditions were studied to identify areas that would likely contain wetland/waters and aquatic habitats at the site. The 1987 "Corps Wetlands Delineation Manual' (1987 Manual) was also used to determine the extent of wetlands at - the study sites. On July 18, 2001, EPA conducted a field inspection of jurisdictional wetlands located within the Los Osos Valley Road Widening Project area, including those areas where the alleged violations had occurred on Froom Ranch. A second field visit was conducted by EPA on August 1, 2001 to evaluate 4 -34- Exhibit D Title Report [See Attached] -35= q U ESTA ILE COMPANY PRELIMINARY REPORT Cuesta ride Company hereby reports that it is prepared to issue, or cause to be issued, as of the date hereof, a Policy or Policies of Title Insurance of Stewart Title Guarantee Company describing the land and the estate or interest therein hereinafter set forth, insuring against loss which may be sustained by reason of any defect, lien or encumbrance not shown or referred to as an Exception on Schedule B or not excluded from coverage pursuant to the printed Schedules, Conditions and Stipulations of said Policy forms.
