Dear Mr. Dorney:
Black & Veatch is serving as the program manager for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Utility Department's (CMUD) 1997 Annexation and is also preparing all permit
documents for the project. The 1997 Annexation program involves the annexing
of seven distinct areas of Mecklenburg County with sewer and water service to be
provided to all areas by June of 1999.
One of the annexation contracts is Contract 3-Highland Creek Area-
Stoney Creek Tributary Annexation Sewer and Polk and White Road
Street Mains. This contract consists of approximately 11,000 linear feet of sanitary
sewer trunk to serve residential areas bordered by Polk and White Road,
Mallard Creek Road, and Prosperity Church Road. The contract will be
constructed on private lands and the County-owned Golf Course property and also
along the right-of-way of Polk and White Road.
The sanitary sewer trunks cross jurisdictional waters and wetlands in 20 locations.
We have attached the application form and supporting documentation as required.
We are requesting that the 401 Certification and Nationwide No. 12 permits be
issued for this contract.
Due to community development housing being constructed in this area during the
fall of 1997, and the requirements of the county-owned golf course to have all
work completed in the winter, we have been required to accelerate the
construction of this contract by 4 months. Plans are being made to advertise this

Re: Annexation Project - Highland reek Area Trunk Sewer Project of Approximately 2.10 Miles
Charlotte. N.C. -__Reauest for NWP 12
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 several alternative alignments based on environmental factors,
construction limitations, and other factors.
N
Most of the project area is forested, except for crossing of a public golf course. Stony Creek and it's
tributaries are headwaters in the project area. Stony Creek is a tributary of Mallard Creek in the Rocky River
Sub-Basin of the Yadkin River Basin. Stony Creek is currently classified a Class C - aquatic life propagation
and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Small wetland areas occur in depression
and level areas along tributaries and toe of slopes in the floodplain. A few of the wetland areas have been
recently created or enhanced from the drainage features of adjacent developments. Generally the site consists
of Monacan (Mo) soils near the creeks and drainage ways.
ummarv of Jurisdictional Waters of the
Wetland Hydrology
The unnamed intermittent/perennial tributaries are considered surface waters. Wetland hydrology is provided
by a perched water table, seeps, springs, and surface runoff over a clayey subsoil. Although the site
conditions were apparently dryer than normal, there was adequate indicators to determine areas subject to
ponding and/or flooding behind riparian berm.
Hydrophyfic Ve tation
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.

PROPOSED AVOIDANCE MDUMIZATION AND MITIGATION
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..
Avoidance
Most of the wetland areas on this are located adjacent to headwater tributaries or between the riparian berm
and the base of ridges that border the floodplain. The width of the floodplain varies however they tend to be
narrow in these headwater areas. The sewerline has been located to extent possible between the riparian
berm and the wetland areas behind the berm. A minimum 10' area along the streams will remain undisturbed.

Request for NWP 12
Page 3, August 24, 1997
Although the distance is a minimum of 10', the average width of the buffer is approximately 30'. In sections
the width may be as wide as 60' or more. Locating the sewer line along the outside edge of the wetland
areas or further from the creek was limited by a rapid change in slope, soil and rock conditions, and existing
land use.
Minimization
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 Specification
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.

Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified two endangered species -
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzu), 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 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 Protected 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 RE O
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 wetlands.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.

Highland Creek Sewer Expansion for Annexation
Evaluation of Plant Communities and Assessment for Plant Species of Concern
August 11, 1997
for
Black and Veatch
8604 Cliff Cameron Dr.
Suite 164
Charlotte, NC 28269
by
Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
James F. Matthews, Ph.D.

Highland Creek - Sewer Expansion for Annexation
The following descriptions are for several 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 5, 1997.
Trunk to Stony Creek - 5,227 ft.
The ROW begins at Mallard Creek Rd. on a slope above a small tributary. The
forest has a good diversity of species and sizes of trees. The species are Sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua) 28" dbh, Bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis) 23" dbh,
Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) 20" dbh, Willow oak (Quercusphellos)14" dbh,
White oak (Q. alba)12" dbh, Southern red oak (Q. falcata) 12" dbh, Pignut hickory
(Carya glabra) 8" dbh over an understory of Dogwood (Corpus florida). The ROW
crosses the tributary and across the toe of a slope, with the same general species
composition, but with Red oak (Quercus rubra) 17" dbh and Shortleaf pine (Pinus
echinata) 12" dbh. It then passes into the county park site and below the golf course, just
above the narrow floodplain. It crosses the tributary into the floodplain on the opposite
side, dominated by Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)12" dbh and Red maple (Acer
rubrum) 6" dbh. It crosses a cart path into a disturbed Shortleaf pine and Virginia pine
(Pinus virginiana) woods (both less than 8" dbh) over primarily Sweetgum 4" dbh, then
across a fairway and into a floodplain of Yellow poplar 16" dbh, Sweetgum 12" dbh and
Virginia pine 12" dbh, then along the toe of a slope dominated by Yellow poplar 14" dbh,
Southern red oak l l" dbh, Shortleaf pine 9" dbh and Pignut hickory 8" dbh over
Dogwood. Just before crossing another fairway, it drops into the floodplain dominated by
Yellow poplar 18" dbh, River birch 15" (Betula nigra) dbh, Sweetgum 10" dbh and
American elm (Ulmus americana) 8" dbh over Dogwood. It crosses the fairway, back
into the floodplain with the same vegetation, crosses another fairway, again into the
floodplain forest next to Polk and White Rd. The ROW then uses the road ROW to move
to the north side of the tributary into a floodplain forest, highly disturbed as an old pasture
having undergone succession, now dominated by Yellow poplar 23" dbh and Sweetgum
12" dbh over Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). It crosses a small power line ROW,
continuing in the floodplain or toe of the slope, depending on the width of the floodplain.
The dominant species are Shortleaf pine 16" dbh, Yellow poplar 10" dbh and River birch
8" dbh over Dogwood and Ironwood. It then crosses a large power line ROW and ties
into the existing sewer line at Stony Creek.
Trunk to Keble Dr. - 4,483 ft.
This ROW ends at MH 2183 of the Trunk to Stony Creek, beginning at the pump
station at Keble Dr. The pump station will be eliminated. The ROW enters the golf
course after leaving the pump station, crosses the developed course, enters a disturbed
woodland in the course, dominated by Red maple 24" dbh and smaller Yellow poplar and
Sweetgum, crosses a tributary, still in the course, running along the edge of or across
several fairways. Near the southern end of the golf course, the ROW passes around a lake
that drains into the floodplain of the tributary beside the Trunk to Stony Creek. However,
the golf course is separated by a disturbed woodland from the tributary. The dominant
trees are Yellow poplar 23" dbh, Willow oak 12" dbh, River birch 12" dbh and Sweetgum
8" dbh. Three small tributaries are crossed by this ROW in the space of about 60 ft., just
before reaching MH 2138.
Trunk to Polk and White Rd. - 1,395 ft.
From Polk and White Rd., in an open field, the ROW enters a very disturbed
woodland of young trees less than 4" dbh, composed of Sweetgum, Willow oak and
Winged elm (Ulmus alata). This forest extends to a fairway in the golf course, where the
ROW crosses this fairway, then about 60 ft of woods of similar species and disturbance,
another fairway then about 100 ft. of woods of similar species and disturbance to the
junction with the Trunk to Keble Dr.
Referring to the list provided by the N.C. Natural Heritage program, appended, for
determining the species and the plant communities of concern, none of the species or
communities were found along the above trunk sewer line rights-of-way.

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET
The county species list from die NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements (rare species, natural communities, geologic
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 CODE STATUS
E Endangered P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
T Threatened SR Significantly Rare
Sc Special Concern EX Extirpated
C Candidate 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 are
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, definitions are taken
from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).

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 (C1) 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 die 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 def inition 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 l 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.

G5 Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
GH Of historical occurrence 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.

Subject: Nationwide #12 Permit
for Annexation Sewers
Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley:
Black & Veatch is assisting the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department (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.
This project consists of the installation of approximately 11,000 linear feet of sanitary
sewer trunk to serve developing areas in the vicinity of Mallard Creek Road
(NCSR 2467) and Prosperity Church Road in northern Mecklenburg County. In
addition, this project will be installing 5,200 linear feet of street main in the
road right-of-way along Polk White Road (NCSR 2476) to serve various residences.
We are requesting comments or concerns you may have regarding the proposed
routing for our pipelines. Please forward your comments to us as early as possible.
Please contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or need additional
information.
Very truly yours,
BLACI<1 &/WATCH LLP
