WEIIANDS AND STORww,, SIR BRANCH
Charlotte-Douglas Airport proposes to construct improvements to Airport Drive adjacent to
the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. The project consists of the vertical raising of
approximately 1,200 linear feet of Airport Drive between Ashley Circle and West Boulevard
and is needed to improve the existing roadway. The project site consists of residential and
light industrial properties on Airport Drive. The scope of work includes the replacement of an
existing storm water culvert with new materials and conversion of a short length of piped
storm water conveyance to an open channel.
Enclosed please find five copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the
project and a check in the amount of $570.00 for the permit fee. Please review this application
and call me at [phone] should you have any questions or concerns.

PCN Form -Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
To minimize impacts we will be removing the existing damaged culvert for 250 feet and replacing this with an open channel to
convey intermittent stormwater flows. The channel has been designed to carry the appropriate design storm without eroding at
the bottom or on the stream banks. Use of rip rap has been minimized and vegetation has been specified. The replacement
culvert beneath the roadway will be embedded.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
During construction the damaged culvert will be removed and a new channel constructed. Sediment and erosion control will
be used to protect the downstream waters during construction. The channel will be constructed and restored with natural
vegetation.

2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? ? Yes ® No

impacts?
El Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
? Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
Based on a search of the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database, the only federally endangered species that
occurs within the Charlotte East quadrangle is Lasmigona decorate (Carolina Heelsplitter). There is only a historical
record of this species in this area of Charlotte however according to NHP's Guide to Federally Listed Endangered and
Threatened Species of North Carolina, A Carolina heelsplitter requires a slow moving stream with well shaded stream
banks. The culvert being removed has high velocity flows only during storm events and is therefore not a habitat for the
heelsplitter.

Site Investigation
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? ? Yes ® No
