Re: Town of Mooresville, Phase II 42" Rocky River Outfall Sewer 401 Permit Application
Dear Mr. McMillan;
On behalf of McKim and Creed and The Town of Mooresville, North Carolina we are requesting your review of the
enclosed Pre-Construction Notification and supporting documentation in anticipation of your approval of same for 401
Water Quality permitting. Enclosed is the 404 Permit under Nationwide 12 as approved by the USACE Asheville
Regulatory Office. This gravity sewer line is being proposed for service to a newly constructed Elementary School
anticipated to be opened in September of 2008.
Impacts to Wetlands:
The project area originally consisted of the entire flood plain along a 3,900 If corridor of the Rocky River (18.0
acres). Within this 18.0 acre area there exists approximately 4.0 acres of wetlands. HARP was charged with
selecting the most appropriate route for the alignment to avoid wetlands. Every effort has been made to reduce the
impacts to all wetlands. This resulted in a number of stream crossings for the purpose of avoiding high quality
wetland. Wetlands will however be impacted. Of the -4.0 acres of wetlands approximately 0.23 acres of wetlands
will be impacted during construction. These wetlands (shown on page 7 of the Construction plans) have
herbaceous and woody cover and are of fairly good quality. After construction the wetland areas will be re-graded to
preconstruction elevations and reseeded with wildlife friendly herbaceous wetland vegetation. No more than a 10'
wide maintenance corridor will be maintained within the wetland areas.
Impacts to Stream:
This project will cross the Rocky River four times and an unnamed tributary to the Rocky River one time. Please see
the enclosed photos depicting the Rocky River at this location. The photos taken were taken in June 2007 prior to the
sever drought we have encountered in the subsequent months. The Rocky River at this location; from edge of water
to edge of water; is less than 6' wide. The unnamed tributary does not show up on the USGS Mooresville Quad.,
1993 as a blue line stream however, it does show up on the USDA, SCS, Soil Survey, Iredell County, NC, June 1964,
Sheet 59. For the purpose of calculations for this PCN we assume that the unnamed tributary is jurisdictional. The
impacts to the streams will be minimized to the extent possible and permanent crossings will utilize GeoGrid, rip rap
and 4" of 67 stone to stabilize the banks at the crossings. Each permanent crossing will be no more that 10'
wide; impacts to streams total approximately 0.0379 acres or approximately 50 linear feet of stream bank
Stone check dams will be utilized to allow construction in the dry.

Threatened and Endangered Species and Species of Concern
A Threatened and Endangered species study was performed along the entire length of the project using data from
the NC Natural Heritage Program database for Mooresville USGS Quad. Comments were provided for three species
on the list for this Quad. The Biological investigation and subsequent report (included in this report) notes,
"Regarding the species of concern for the Mooresville USGS Quad, there is no habitat for the Timber rattlesnake.
The habitat for the Loggerhead shrike is open fields with scattered trees. This area does provide habitat. Since the
impacts are temporary, it is not expected that there will be any impact on this bird, if it is present. Having seen
several of the habitats for the Bog Turtle, a species with a historic report, the quality of the wetlands on this site, even
though some are in the open, the hydrology does not appear to be sufficiently well developed to support a population
of Bog turtles."
Historic or Archeological Sites
It is not believed that any historical or archeologically significant sites are within the project area. If this statement is
found to be incorrect these issues will be addressed prior to construction.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this permit application please do not hesitate to contact me on
behalf of the design engineers McKim and Creed and the Town of Mooresville.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Expected pond surface area: NA
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
Page 5 of 9

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Field conditions were evaluated
prior to sewer line layout and to the extent possible wetlands were avoided. Where impacts to
wetlands occurred decisions were made in an effort to stay off the stream banks. The route
shown on the plans was selected to minimize impacts to the wetlands without creating impacts to
stream banks. Stream impacts will be minimized to the fullest extent possible with sediment and
erosion control devices. Permanent stream crossings will be reinforced with Geogrid, which will
be covered with rip rap graded level and then covered with 4 inches of 67 stabilization stone to
allow maintenance vehicles to cross. Concrete anti-seep collars will be installed every 150 ft ~
in wetland areas as shown on plans.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc. usi'ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation is not beingproposed.
Page 6 of 9

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http:/lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): None
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): None
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): None

Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ^
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ^ No
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No ^
Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ^ No
Page 7 of 9

2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

• Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additiona120 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss Stormwater
controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If
percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed
impervious level. Site is undeveloped farmland and woodland with no impervious acreage. Contractor to
install erosion control measures prior to the start of construction. Install silt fence, inlet protection,
sediment traps diversion ditches tree protection and other measures as shown on plans clearing onlX as
necessary to install All erosion control measures shall be constructed in accordance with the NCDENR
regulations and Town of Mooresville requirements. No more than 1,000 linear feet to be disturbed at any
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Approximately 3.900 linear feet of 42-inch gravity sewer, with 130 linear feet of 8-inch gravity
sewer discharging into the Town of Mooresville existing sewerage system. Initally there will be
no wastewater in sewerline. Once on line the sewage and wastewater collected b this system
shall be treated in the Town of Mooresville Rocky River WWTP (NPDES Permit No.
NC0046728~prior to being discharged into the receiving stream.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)

Is this anafter-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ® No ^
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: There
are no specific plans for future development in this area at this time. The purpose of this project
is to provide sewer service to a newly constructed elementary school, anticipated to open in
September 2008. Generally speaking a new sewer line will promote future development in
previously undeveloped azeas. CurrentlYthere are no sQecific plans for development. _ _
XV. Qther Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may

Explain:
` Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section [II below.
Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III. F.

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. , TNWs AfND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section IILD.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW: Rocky River.
Summarize rationale supporting determination: Public and Private boating/rafting, with put ins/take outs.
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": Wetland is within 100 year floodplain, has physical and
hydric soil connection to TNW.
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or Gave continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. if the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section IILBZ for any onsite wetlands, and Section IILB3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant news exists is determined in Section IILC below.
1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW
(i) General Area Conditions:

Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain:
[dentify flow route to TNWS:
Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the grid
West.
s Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW.

(iii) Chemical Characteristics:
Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.).
Explain:
Identify specific pollutants, if known:
~A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity ofthe TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section IILD:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IILD:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section IILD:

Rocky River Outfall Sewer -Town of Mooresville, Iredell County
Biological Analysis of the Project Area
This 42 inch outfall, one of several sections of the Rocky River Outfall, extends from Rocky
River Rd. (SR 1147) up to Coddle Creek Highway (NC 3), for a distance of approximately 3,900
lf. The RO W was sited to have the least impact on the wetlands that occur along the edges of the
fields through which the outfall extends. Several revisions were made so as to reduce the
wetland impacts. Currently the proposed alignment reveals temporary and permanent impacts
of 0.37 acres, with 0.23 acres of wetland impacts and 0.14 acres of blue line stream crossing
impacts. Wetlands occur on both sides of the Rocky River, necessitating a crossing to avoid the
largest one on the east side of the river. The ROW passes through mowed fescue and abandoned
fescue fields. The data base for the Mooresville USGS Quad, obtained from the NC Natural
Heritage Program, shows only four species of concern, two historic elements: Budding tortula
(Rhachithecium perpusillum) and Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) and two current records:
Timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) and Loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), attached to
the report. The field work was performed over several days in May and June 2007
Beginning at PMH 1, just north of the Rocky River Rd. the ROW' extends to PMH 2 through an
abandoned field, dominated by Tall Fescue grass (Schedonorus arundinaceus = Festuca
arundinacea previously), Blackberry (Rubus spp.), Verbesina (Verbesina occidentalis), Queen
Ann's lace (Daucus carota), Dog-fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Verbena (Verbena
brasiliense), Wild onion (Allium canadense) and seedlings of Sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua).
PMH 2 to PMH 3 crosses the Rocky River. Estimates of the river characteristics at the crossing
are: channel ? ft. wide, water 3-6 in. deep, top of bank (TOB) 18 ft., with a floodplain bench on
the east side.
PMH 3 to PMH 4 passes through an abandoned Fescue field, which includes Blackberry,
Verbena, Dog-fennel, Velvet grass (Holcus lanatus), Swamp rose (Rosa palustris), Persimmon
(Diospyros virginiana), and Box elder (Ater negundo).
PMH 4 to PMH 5 passes through this same field and same vegetation, and crosses the diminutive
channel of the West Branch of Rocky River. The channel is incised 4.5 ft., with TOB 8 ft., a
channel 2 ft. wide and water 2 in. deep. The woody vegetation on the south bank consists of
Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) 12 in. dbh, Black willow (Salix nigra) 4 in. dbh, Sweetgum 4 in.
dbh, Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 3 in. dbh, and Alder (Alnus serrulata) 2 in. dbh.
H.4BIT.~kT ANALYSIS ENDr'~NGERED PL4NT STUDIES ~ STS E4M I~ESTOR.~,TIC~i~J ~ ~1P~ETLG,fUG ~11TIG?,TIGN ~ l1iInNITORWG

P1M7H 5 to PMH 6 passes through an abandoned Fescue field, with Wild onion, Dog-
fennel, Blackberry, Velvet grass, Verbesina, Yellow thistle (Cirsium horridulum),
Persimmon and Swamp rose.
PMH 6 to PMH 7 crosses a small ditch draining the wetland along the toe of the slope to
the west. This ditch was dry on 3une 13, but the soils and vegetation are hydric up on the
banks. The channel is 3 ft. wide and TOB 12 ft. Several large trees on the bank will be
removed. One is a Green ash 26 in. dbh and the other a Box elder 16 in. dbh. The
primary herbs on the banks are Verbesina and Soft rush. In the field, Fescue again is the
dominant species, with scattered Sedges (Carex spp.), Peltandra (Peltandra virginica),
Soft rush (JuncYrS effuses), Diodia (Diodia virginiana) and Yellow thistle. The ROW
parallels the outer edge of the delineated wetland and PMH 7 is inside the delineated
wetland.
P1NH 7 to PMH 8 continues through this same field with delineated wetlands, with PRRH
8 not in the wetlands. The dominant species in the field is Fescue and a few Soft rush
plants.
P1vZEi 8 to PMH 9 continues through the same Fescue field, with no wetland species.
PMH 9 to P14iH 10 continues through the same Fescue field with no wetland species.
PMH 10 to PMH 11 crosses the Rocky River. This allows the ROW not to impact a
wetland further north on the west side of the river, and also miss a lazge wetland south of
PMH 11 on the east side of the river. The river channel is 5 ft. wide, water is 4 in. deep
and TOB is 18-20 ft. The woody vegetation on the bank that will be lost includes two
Sweetgums, 7 and 8 in. dbh, and a Red cedaz ~Juniperus virginiana) 13 in. dbh.
PMH 11 to PMH 12. PMH 11 is in a Fescue field that is not mowed. Other species in
the field include Orchard grass, Velvet grass and Yellow thistle. This field extends to
PMH 12.
PMI~ 12 to PMH 13 leaves the unmanaged Fescue field undergoing succession and
passes into a mowed hay field, which extends all the way to Coddle Creek Rd. (NC 3). A
wetland extends all along the eastern border of the ROW, just outside the fencing. This is
a very good quality wetland, particularly at between PMH 13 and PMH 14.
P141H 13 to PMH 14 continues through the mowed Fescue hay field. The wetland at
36.00 is dominated by Sweet flag {Acores calamus), and includes Peltandra, Touch-me-
not (Impatiens capensis}, Galium (Ualiaim tinctorum), Diodia, Soft rush, and Sedges
(Carex annectens and C. lurida}.
PMI-I 14 to PMH 15 continues in the same hay field and crosses a small tributary (non-
blue line), with Sedges on the banks. The channel is 3 ft. wide, water is 2 in. deep and
TOB is 11 ft.

PMH 1~ to PMH 16 continues through the same hay field.
A lateral connection crosses the Rocky River to PMH 16A. One Sycamore (Platarsus
occaderrtalis} 20 in. dbh may be affected. The channel is 7 ft. wide, water is 3 in. deep
and TOB is 20-22 ft. PMH 16A is in an abandoned ROW now overgrown with grasses.
Ply°IH 16 to PMH 17 leaves the mowed field, crosses under Coddle Creek Rd. and ends in
a garden on the north side of the road.
Regarding the species of concern for the Mooresville USGS Quad, there is no habitat for
the Timber rattlesnake. The habitat for the Loggerhead shrike is open fields with
scattered trees. This area does provide habitat. Since the impacts are temporary, it is not
e:~pected that there will be any impact on this bird, if it is present. Having seen several
of the habitats for the Bog turtle, a species with a historic report, the quality of the
wetlands on this site, even though some are in the open, the hydrology does not appear to
be sufficiently well developed to support a population of Bog turtles.
It is important that the limits of the wetlands, usually behind the silt fences be respected
during construction. The contractor should be shown where the wetlands are and where
the silt fences also act as construction barriers. Possibly colorful surveyor's tape should
be tied to the top of the fencing where wetlands occur directly behind the fencing. These
may warn the contractor and prevent inadvertent impacts. Otherwise, there are no
recommendations regarding this project.
