The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps) has received an application from Charlotte
Douglas International Airport seeking Department of the Army authorization to impact
approximately 149 linear feet of stream channel associated with the construction of a new
taxiway in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Specific plans and location information are described below and shown on the attached plans.

The Corps will evaluate this application and decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or deny
the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344).
Location
The site is located at the existing Charlotte-Douglas Airport facility, on the south side of Old
Dowd Road, adjacent to Minuteman Way, in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Coordinates for the site are: 35.244°N, -80.933°W. The proposed impact location is northeast of
the intersection between the two existing runways.
-1-
Existing Site Conditions
The site is approximately 15 acres in size and contains several different types of jurisdictional
features. In general, the site has been disturbed due to past development activities associated with
the construction and operation of the airport facility. The site contains intermittent and perennial
stream channels that flow through existing wetlands on the site before ultimately draining into
Sugar Creek, which is considered a Traditional Navigable Water. The intermittent portions of the
streams was classified as seasonal relatively permanent waters and is generally degraded due to
lack of riparian buffers, on-going erosion, and lack of in-stream habitat/macro-invertebrate life.
These intermittent channels transitions to a perennial stream classified as a relatively permanent
water which is also considered degraded for the same reasons. The total stream length on site is
approximately 1,090 linear feet.
The wetlands on the site total 2.12 acres and include both vegetated and open water habitat types.
Approximately 0.26 acres is considered an emergent wetland with various species to include:
bushy bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Nepal grass
(Microstegium spp. ), and gold rods (Solidago spp. ). The remaining 1.86 acre of wetlands is a
scrub/shrub vegetated wetland that transitions to open water habitat. Vegetation consists of black
willow (Salix nigra), elderberry (Sambucus candensis), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), sycamore
(Platanus occidentalis), bushy bluestem, and broomsedge.
Applicant's Stated Purpose
The purpose of the project as stated by the applicant is to construct a new taxiway on the east
side of Runway 18L-36R to allow airplanes that are based on that side of the airfield to taxi to
their takeoff position without crossing the active runway which reduce the risk of accidents and
departure delays.
Project Description
In order to construct the taxiway, the applicant is proposing to fill approximately 149 linear feet
of stream channel. No impacts to.wetlands are proposed. The proposed fill slopes and drainage
system have been shifted to minimize impacts to jurisdictional features. All proposed impacts
will occur to Stream A which was designated as an intermittent (seasonal relatively permanent
water) stream channel. The stream will be filled by extending an existing culvert and then
placing riprap at the downstream end of the new culvert.
The applicant is not proposing any compensatory mitigation at this time. Also, please note that
this permit request is associated with several previous permits that have been issued over the
years for the expansion of the airport facility. Cumulative impacts that have been permitted on
the site total 25,519 linear feet of stream channel, 4.183 acres of wetlands, and 7.552 acres of
open water ponds.

Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State
agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and
this public notice combined with appropriate application fee at the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality central office in Raleigh will constitute initial receipt of an application for a 401
Water Quality Certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWQ fails to act on
this request for certification within sixty days of the date of the receipt of this notice in the
NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification
may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321

Re: Individual Permit Application
Charlotte Douglas International Airport
CDIA Taxiway D
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Ms. Jones:
HDR Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR), on behalf of our client, the Charlotte-Douglas
International Airport (CDIA) (Agent Authorization Form, attached), is requesting a Section 404
Individual Permit in order to construct the proposed CDIA Taxiway D project per USACE guidance.
The USACE has requested an Individual Permit application for the proposed project since it is part of
the ongoing CDIA improvements. A Section 401 Water Quality Certification was submitted on
February 12, 2010 (NC DWQ Project Number: 00-1195v10).
The proposed project is located in the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC (Figures 1 and 2).
CDIA proposes to construct a taxiway on.the east side of Runway 18L-36R to allow airplanes that are
based on that side of the airfield to taxi to their takeoff position without crossing an active taxiway. The
new taxiway will minimize the risk of accidents and help reduce departure delays. Once the taxiway is
constructed, the existing museum hanger will lie within the required Object Free Area (OFA) and will
become an obstruction to the proposed taxiway. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines
the OFA as an area free of any objects that are above the taxiway centerline. The hanger will be moved
approximately 200 feet to stay out of the OFA.
A pedestrian survey for jurisdictional waters of the U.S. was conducted on January 19th and 26th, 2010
within the CDIA's property (parcel ID: 11522102). Jurisdictional waters were delineated and identified
according to the methodology described in the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and recent
USACE Rapanos guidance. HDR identified on-site jurisdictional features as two stream channels or
Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), one emergent wetland, and a scrub shrub/open water wetland
(Figure 3). Representative features are attached. Table 1.1 summarizes the jurisdictional features and

proposed impacts associated with the proposed project. A request for verification of the features was
forwarded to the USACE on February 8, 2010.

Open Water/Wetland Total: - 2.12 0
The original proposed fill slopes and drainage system have been shifted to minimize and avoid major
impacts to jurisdictional waters. The original plans included approximately 675 square feet of fill
impacts to Wetland BB and approximately 181 linear feet (If) of fill impacts to Stream A. The revised
plan accounts for 148.5 if of impact to Stream A, (126.5 If of fill from grading activities and 22 if of fill
from the proposed rip rap apron). (Figure 4 and Figure 5). The installed culvert will be an extension of
an existing pipe. No open waters are evident upstream. No mitigation is proposed since impacts to
streams are minimal and impacts to wetlands have been completely avoided.
Correspondence was sent to State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requesting information on any
cultural resources that may be impacted by the proposed construction. After review, SHPO stated that
no historic resources would likely be affected by the proposed project, dated March 4, 2010 (see
attached).
HDR has reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) protected species list and consulted the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Elemental Occurrence database -and GIS layer for
Mecklenburg County. An on-site protected species habitat survey was preformed in conjunction with
the jurisdictional waters survey. The proposed project area is highly disturbed with a dense population
of invasive species, notably kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata). As a result, no habitat for protected
species was evident. HDR has requested comment from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
regarding these findings (February 8, 2010). At this time, no response has been received.
I Jurisdictional features were flagged in the field and recorded using a GPS receiver.
