Re: Annexation Poject - Charlotte.
N.C.- Request for NWP 2
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department, I am requesting your review of the enclosed plans.
I have also attached other information pertaining to the site. The proposed use of the site is a sanitary sewer
trunk line to serve the a recently annexed area to the City of Charlotte. Preliminary planning included a
wetland delineation, and a review of proposed alternative alignments and field adjustments based on
environmental factors, construction limitations, and other factors. In one particular area the sewer line
alignment was modified to preserve intact a very high value regarding pollution removal, water storage, and
bank stabilization in the vicinity of a junk-yard.
SITE DESC'RiPTION
Most of the project area is forested in secondary succession or associated with previously developed and
disturbed areas. The project areas are in the headwaters of Mallard Creek. Mallard Creek is in the Rocky
River Sub-Basin of the Yadkin River Basin. Mallard Creek and it's tributaries are currently classified as
Class C - aquatic fife propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and
agriculture.Wetland areas occur in depressions and level areas along tributaries and toe of slopes in the
floodplain. Generally the site consists of Monacan (Mo) soils near the creeks and drainage ways.
Sumwaa gf uris 'on Waters Qt the J
Wetland LWrology
Wetland hydrology is provided by a perched water table, seeps, springs, and surface runoff over a clayey
subsoil. The site conditions were apparently dryer than normal, however there were adequate indicators to
determine areas subject to ponding and/or flooding behind riparian berm.
Hydrop i Vegetation
Wetland areas and along tributaries is dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and Obligate Vegetation
and includes red maple, hornbeam, sweetgum, alder, green ash, willow oak, willow, silky dogwood, and
others. Herbaceous plants include sedges, soft rush, jewelweed, poison ivy and other typical wetland species.
Ligustrum is dominant in the shrub layer in non-wetland areas. Obligate and FACW vegetation dominate the
more saturated wetland areas.

The department has pursued professional planning input to develop this project and maintain sensitivity to
environmental concerns. Preliminary planning involved site analysis and consideration of environmental and
regulatory issues. Topography, natural features, soil and rock conditions, existing land use, and engineering
requirements were factors in determining the location of the trunk line. Once the final extents of the wetland
areas were determined, a very strong effort, as depicted on the plan, was made to adapt the alignment to
avoid and minimize disturbance to wetlands to the extent feasible. Except for temporary construction and
development impacts the proposed project should not cause significant impacts to the ecological functions
or values of Jurisdictional Waters of the U. S..
Avvidance
The sewerline has been located to extent feasible to retain a minimum 10' wide forested area along the
streams. As depicted on the plans sewerline aft m= was mo j ed based on fief conditions to avoid

This project will be designed and constructed to conform to the Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12
and Regional Conditions (June 19, 1997) or Regional Permit 049 (Utility Line Backfill and Bedding) and the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, General Certification for projects eligible for the Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 or Regional Permit 198100049.

Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. This will
include:
Siltation Barriers
- Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
Preconstruction meetings
Other methods as appropriate
Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved.
Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the
project. Wetlands to be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent accidental damage to wetlands. The
contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland damage not permitted according to plans and
specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if necessary with representatives of the USACE and
the NCDWQ.
Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat,
however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery. Project construction will
strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. Best Management Practices will
include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts
from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not
permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality
Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact
with waters until the concrete has hardened.
Restoration Plan
As required by Nationwide Permit 12, the topsoil shall be saved through the disturbed area and the top 6"
to 12" of the trench will be backfilled with this topsoil to encourage rapid re-establishment of previous
vegetation conditions. Excess material must be removed to upland areas immediately upon completion of
construction. The contours throughout the area of disturbance will also be restored immediately upon the
completion of construction. An annual species suitable for wet locations will be planted within jurisdictional
wetlands for soil and erosion control. Perennials such as fescue will not be specified. The remaining
Nationwide Permit 12 and 401 Water Quality Certification conditions which includes the following will be
incorporated into the plans and specifications of the project.
Grassing Specifrca&n
Disturbed wetland areas shall be stabilized with annual small grains that will initially stabilize the soils and
then allow the natural vegetation to become re-established. For stabilization, outside the optimum planting
windows, using a mixture of species on either side of the window may increase chances of a good stand.
Germination will be most difficult in the December - February period. For wetland stabilization during this
period, it will be necessary to be sure that wetlands are well mulched. Annual lespedeza could be added to
any planting mixtures during this period because it will germinate during the first warm days of spring.

Additional USA CERegional Conditions to Nationwide Permit 12 (Applicable to this project)
Temporary placement of excavated or fill material in waters and wetlands will be for the absolute
minimum period of time necessary to accomplish the work.
Each individual crossing will be stabilized immediately with native vegetation. Stabilizing with non-
native grasses (i.e., fescue, etc.) is prohibited
Anti-seep collars must be installed at no greater than 150-foot intervals on all sewer and drain lines
placed in wetlands, and all utility lines must be installed to prevent drainage of wetlands (i.e., no French
drain" construction, etc.)
The total width of the access corridor excavation and temporary fill area (including mechanized
land clearing) is restricted to no more than 40 feet and must be minimized to the extent practicable.
THREATENED AN MANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified two endangered species -
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzh), and the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata).
Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of successional fields, margins, and forested
openings. A review of USGS Maps at the Natural Heritage Program at NCDEHNR in Raleigh did not
indicate any endangered species previously identified on the site.
However, since Schweinitz's sunflower is known to occur in Mecklenburg County, a survey was conducted
by Dr. Jim Matthews of the Habitat Assessment Restoration Program. Neither the Schweinitz's sunflower
nor habitat conducive to it's survival were not found in the project area. The Carolina heelsplitter is a
freshwater mussel which prefers shaded areas either in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along
steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat are waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud,
muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks
especially associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. Its current distribution according to
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R. Domey-NCDWQ
Annexation Project - Davis Lake Area Trunk Sewer - Approx. 1.4 Miles
Request for NWP 12
Page 7, December 9, 1997
the US Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek --
and a small river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on this
site.
State Prptected Species
The Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis) is a fish that inhabits small streams such as those found in the
project area. This species has a federal status of Proposed Special Concern and a state status of Special
Concern. The species prefers small clear streams of less than 15' width with moderate to swift current and a
sand/gravel benthic composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of water quality conditions and
vegetation types adjacent to the streams and appears resistant to pollution. (E. Menhinick). Therefore, strict
adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction
period in order to control degradation of water quality.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Most of the project area in secondary forest succession. There are no indications of any existing structures
on the project site. The USGS maps were inspected at the Office of State Archaeology and the Survey and
Planning Office and there were no indications of previously identified archaeological or historic structures on
this site which are eligible or currently on the National Register of Historic Places.
CONCLUSION
An important objective of the plan was to help balance the environmental consequences of this project by
avoiding important forested wetland areas to the extent feasible, minimizing impacts to surface waters,
providing opportunities for natural herbaceous vegetation to succeed, and minimizing the potential of
draining wetland areas. At several locations the plans were field modified and adjusted to further reduce
impacts. By complying with the Nationwide Permit 12 and 401 Certification conditions it is expected that
this project will not cause significant impacts to jurisdictional surface waters and wetlands.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your

An Evaluation of the Plant Communities and Species of Concern

James F. Matthews, Ph.D.
An Evaluation of the Plant Communities and Species of Concern
for Seven Areas for Annexation - Mecklenburg County
Executive Summary
All of the rights-of-way for the seven areas were examined during the months of
July and August, 1997. The type of community was described, based on the dominant
species and comments were provided on the quality of the community. The N.C. Natural
Heritage Program County List of Species was used to provide the base for species of
concern. Particular attention was paid to the potential presence of the Federally
endangered Schweinitz's sunflower, Helianthus schweinitzii. No populations of the
sunflower were discovered, and none of the species on the Heritage Program list were
noted.
Most of the habitats involved in the sewer and water line projects were currently
highly disturbed, were recovering from past disturbance and supported early- to mid-
successional forests comprised of "weedy" species or in a few instances were of decent
quality (based on species composition and size). No exemplary forests, detailed in the
Heritage Program list were encountered.
One unexpected community was discovered, along the Trunk to Serve Allison Ln,
on a tributary of Six Mile Creek. A granitic flatrock measuring ca. 40 x 80 feet was found
just north of the tributary. The area is close to the residences on William Porter Rd. and
has been used as a solid waste disposal site for many years, hence it is cowered in iarge
part with trash. A search of the exposed granitic surface revealed two of the summer
species characteristic of outcrops, Talinum teretifolium and Agave virginica. There was
no evidence of the characteristic early spring species, nor of vegetative fall-blooming
species. This area should not be impacted by the construction, unless it becomes a place
to park equipment or is used for entry during construction. It is recommended that the
inspector try to protect the area if possible.
There are no recommendations regarding other areas or other species for the
projects.
Areas as named: Beverly Crest, Davis Lake, Highland Creek Contract 2, Six Mile
Creek East, Six Mile Creek West, Steele Creek East, Steele Creek West. One additional
report, Highland Creek, was prepared separately from the above.

Davis Lake - Sewer and Water Expansion for Annexation
The following descriptions are for several small projects to adjust for annexation. The
right-of-way (ROW) for each site was examined for plant endangered, threatened or
species of concern and the general type of community is noted for each section. The field
work was performed on August 8 and 11, 1997.
Trunk to Serve Cleve Brown Rd. - ca. 400 ft.
The sewer line parallels the road ROW from the new apartment project to the
existing sewer line.
Trunk to Serve NC 115 - 2089 ft.
The ROW begins at NC 115, crosses the railroad ROW and enters an abandoned
field, now supporting saplings less than 2" dbh. At the edge of the field, the ROW crosses
a ditch and parallels a tributary in a floodplain woods. The dominant species are
Sweetgum 21" dbh, Sycamore 18" dbh, Yellow poplar 18" dbh, Red maple 17" dbh, Red
cedar 8" dbh, Mockernut hickory 6" dbh over Dogwood and Ironwood. It crosses the
tributary, continuing in the same floodplain vegetation, crosses a power line ROW and
again across the tributary, then to an urban open area at Davis Lakes, with a mixture of
species because of past management, Sweetgum 18" dbh, Southern red oak 18" dbh,
Yellow poplar 15" dbh, Shortleaf pine 11" dbh, American elm 8" dbh over Dogwood. It
joins the existing sewer line at Poplar Grove Dr.
Trunk to Serve David Cox Rd. - 1,544 ft.
The ROW begins at David Cox Rd. at a junk yard (disturbed area). It passes
through the active junk yard, along the west side of a small tributary. Near the northern
end of the junk yard, is a scrub woodland of small trees and dense Japanese honeysuckle,
where the ROW crosses the tributary and passes into an abandoned pasture, with scattered
larger trees and no shrubs or understory. The dominants are Willow oak 27" dbh,
Sycamore 24" dbh, Yellow poplar 23" dbh, Sweetgum 16" dbh and Red maple 14" dbh.
The ROW then passes behind homes in an urban open setting to tie into the existing sewer
line ROW at Downing Creek Dr.
Trunk to Serve Oak Dr. - 1,407 ft.
The ROW begins on the north side of Oak Dr. in a field beside a driveway and
passes into a woods dominated by White oak 23" dbh, Southern red oak 19" dbh, Red oak
17" dbh, and Yellow poplar 14" dbh over Dogwood. It crosses a small tributary into an
abandoned field with some scattered large trees, but most are less than 6" dbh. The
dominants are Yellow poplar 16" dbh, Red maple 16" dbh, Sweetgum 9" dbh over
Dogwood and a dense growth of Japanese honeysuckle. The ROW crosses a larger
tributary, passing along the toe of a slope, with a marsh along the west side. The slope is
DL-2
an abandoned pasture dominated by Shortleaf pine 12" dbh, Red cedar 6" dbh and Beech
5" dbh. After the marsh, the ROW drops into the floodplain, which is relatively dry, being
dominated by Sweetgum 16" dbh, Yellow poplar 14" dbh, Shortleaf pine 8" dbh and
American elm 5" dbh. In this floodplain, this ROW ties to a trunk serving Pete Brown Rd.
Trunk to Serve Pete Brown Rd. - 200 ft.
This trunk runs from an existing sewer line near Pete Brown Rd. through the
floodplain forest, discussed immediately above, crosses a tributary and joins with the
Trunk from Oak Dr.
Trunk to Serve Pete Brown Rd. - 2,317 ft.
This trunk begins at Pete Brown Rd., in an old field/pine plantation. The dominant
species are Loblolly and Shortleaf pine less than 6" dbh. It then continues down the slope
with the dominants being Yellow poplar 17" dbh, Virginia pine 8" dbh and Red maple 3"
dbh. It continues along a dirt road ROW, past an abandoned (drained) pond, continues
down the slope in open area to a tributary, where it joins the two trunks (Pete Brown and
Oak Dr.) in the floodplain.
Trunk to Serve Horace Mann Dr. - 1,352 ft.
The ROW begins on Horace Mann Dr., passes along the road ROW and crosses a
small tributary/storm water runoff ditch in a disturbed, open area. It then curves around
with the road and crosses the small tributary again, passes under the road and into the
open school yard. It joins the existing sewer line running behind the school.
Trunk to Serve Herman Dr. - 189 ft.
This short ROW runs from Herman Dr. into an upland woods on a slope to the
existing sewer line at the base of the slope. The woods is dominated by White oak 18"
dbh, Sweetgum 16" dbh, Yellow poplar 15" dbh, White ash 6" dbh, over saplings of the
above and Dogwood.
Trunk to Serve Perkins Rd. Trailer Park - 1,153 ft.
This ROW begins in the trailer park, enters the forest, passing down the slope to
the existing sewer line at the bottom of the slope. Prior use of the site was as a pasture, so
the trees are scattered, with mostly uniform sizes of 8"-10"" dbh. A few Yellow poplar
approach 25" dbh, but the Shortleaf pine, Sweetgum, Red maple are quite uniform.
DL-3
Trunk to Serve Perkins Rd. - 4,191 ft.
The ROW begins in the yards of residences, and passes into a disturbed woods.
From the fencing and type of growth, the area is an abandoned pasture. The ROW
continues downhill to a small tributary of Irwin Creek, but does not cross the tributary.
The dominant trees in the woods are Shortleaf pine 18" dbh, Sweetgum 15" dbh, Yellow
poplar 12" dbh, Red maple 10" dbh, Red cedar 6" dbh, Dogwood 4" dbh, Sourwood 3"
dbh and Ironwood 3" dbh. The ROW turns south, with the tributary to the east., passing
through the same vegetation. The tributary makes an ox-bow and the ROW crosses it
twice, remaining on the east side to avoid a steep, rocky hillside on the west side. The
trees on the hillside are White oak 23" dbh and Beech 20" dbh. The ROW returns to the
west side of the tributary, passing along the toe of the slope, again with the same late
successional vegetation. The ROW then crosses the tributary again to the east side
floodplain forest to avoid another area of exposed rock. The vegetation in the floodplain
is Sweetgum 32" dbh and Yellow poplar 26" dbh. The tributary is crossed again, at MH
1032, to the west side into the floodplain dominated by Sycamore 16" dbh, Sweetgum 10"
dbh and Yellow poplar 9" dbh, along with one large Honey locust 12" dbh. This same
floodplain vegetation continues to where the ROW joins the existing sewer line.
Trunk to Serve Perkins Rd. and the Trailer Park - 1,182 ft.
The ROW begins a the curve toward the end of Perkins Rd. ii passes into an
upland woods, just behind homes. The edge of the woods will be disturbed when the
ROW is cleared. The dominant trees are White oak 26" dbh, Southern red oak 25" dbh,
Red oak 15" dbh, Mockernut hickory 14" dbh and Beech 14" dbh. It passes down the
slope into more disturbed, old pasture vegetation, following a drainage ditch toward the
tributary. The dominant trees are Shortleaf pine 16" dbh, Sweetgum 14" dbh, Beech 12"
dbh and Red oak 11" dbh. This same vegetation extends to the Trunk to Serve Perkins
Rd. where at MH 1249 it joins the Trunk
Water Line to Serve Harris Boulevard Business Park
This water line ROW passes along the road ROW of David Cox Dr., from Davis
Lake Parkway to the Park.
Water Line to Serve Pete Brown Rd.
This water line ROW passes along the road ROW of Pete Brown Rd. from NC
115.
Water Line to Serve Oak Dr.
This water line ROW passes along the road ROW of Oak Dr. from NC 115.
DL-4
Water Line to Serve Perkins Rd.
This water line ROW passes along the road ROW of Perkins Rd. from Gibbon Rd.
Water Line to Serve Old Potters Rd.
This water line passes along the unpaved road and ROW of Old Potters Rd. It
crosses a tributary about 15' wide, at the culvert. It connects at West Sugar Creek Rd.
Water Line to Serve Conner Ridge Ln.
This water line passes along the ROW of Conner Ridge Ln, a new subdivision,
connecting at West Sugar Creek Rd.
There were no species noted that are currently on the N.C. Natural Heritage
Program list for Mecklenburg County, nor any plants of the Federally endangered
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii).

features, and special animal habitats) known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is compiled from a variety of sources,
including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The Heritage Program's Biological and
Conservation Database (BCD) is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as new information is received.
The BCD was developed and is being maintained using methodology developed by The Nature Conservancy. The enclosed list cannot be
considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys. When this
information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given and that the NC Natural Heritage Program be credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county list printout.
STATE PROTECTION
CODE STATUS
E Endangered
T Threatened
SC Special Concern
C Candidate
CODE STATUS
P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
SR Significantly Rare
EX Extirpated
WL Watch List
Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program (NC
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant Protection and
Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action. WL
indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to of conservation concern.
Animal statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Vildlife of North Carolina, March 16, 1992,
Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural. Resources). SR and EX statuses arc
Natural Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action. WL indicates
a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to be of conservation concern.
FEDERAL PROTECTION
This status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, def initions are taken
from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).

Species of
Concern
T(S/A) -
DEFINITION
A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant
portion of its range."
A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
A taxon officially listed as endangered or threatened.
A taxon under consideration for listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. Prior to
February, 1996, this category was designated as Candidate 1 (C 1) species.
A taxon for which there is insufficient information to support listing. Prior to February, 1996, this category
was referred to as Candidate 2 (C2) species. Also called Federal "Species at Risk"
In reference to the American alligator - this species is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare
crocodilians and is listed for trade purposes. The species is no longer biologically endangered or threatened and
is not subject to Section 7 consultation.
Please note that the US Fish and Wildlife Service no longer recognizes the following categories:
3A Candidate 3A A taxon for which the US Fish and Wildlife Service has "persuasive evidence of extinction."
3B Candidate 3B A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which current taxonomic understanding does not support as
a distinct entity meeting the Endangered Species Act's definition of "species."
3C Candidate 3C A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which has been "proven to more abundant or widespread
than previously believed and/or [which is] not subject to any identifiable threat."
GLOBAL AND STATE RANKS
These ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global" refers to worldwide ranks
and "State" to statewide ranks.
STATE RANK DEFINITIONS
S I Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S2 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S3 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina.
S4 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences.
S5 Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
SA Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species.
SH Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 25 years, and suspected to be still extant
in the state.
SR Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation for either accepting or rejecting the report.
SX Believed to be extirpated from North Carolina.
SU Possibly in peril in North Carolina, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
S? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
_B Rank of breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_N Rank of non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_Z Population is not of significant conservation concern; applies to transitory, migratory species.
GLOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS
G 1 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area.
G4 Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
G5 Demonstrably secure globaliy, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
GH Of lustareai oc!n*e^c: throughout its range.
GX Believed to be extinct throughout its range.
GU Possibly in peril, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
G? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
G_Q Of questionable taxonomic status.
T_ Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole.
ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
Species names marked with 1, 2, 3, or 4 asterisks indicate historic, obscure, or incidental records.
* Historic record - the species was last observed in the county over 50 years ago.
** Obscure record - the date and/or location of the species observation is uncertain.
*** Incidental/migrant record - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
**** Historic, Obscure, and Incidental record.
Scientific and common names listed in parentheses are synonyms listed in US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1992, Endangered and
Threatened Species of the Southeastern United States (The Red Book).

Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley:
Black & Veatch is serving as the program manager for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Utility Department's (CMUD) 1997 Annexation Program. Our designers for the
annexation program are Hazen and Sawyer and W. K. Dickson, both of ?:harlotte,
NC. Seven distinct areas of the county are being annexed effective July 1, 1997, and
water and sewer service must be provided to these areas by June 1999. Providing
sewer and water service to these areas will require the installation of approximately
200,000 linear feet total of sewer and waterline.
Black & Veatch is assisting CMUD in preparing a Nationwide #12 permit for
crossings of jurisdictional waters and wetlands. As you are aware, we must attach to
the application a copy of a written response from the State Historic Preservation
Officer.
The areas being annexed (with approximate boundaries) are:
