Dorney Division of Water Quality - NCDEHNR Environmental Science Laboratories 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, NC 27607 Re: Annexation Proiect - Steele Creek - East 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. Tthe project area is made up of early and secondary succession forest, active or former agricultural land, and previously developed land. Sugar Creek is a tributary of the Catawba River and is currently classified a Class C - aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Generally the site consists of Monacan (Mo) soils near the creeks and drainage ways. Sammgry Qt dalc6mal Waters of the U .S. 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. Hvdronhvtic V=Won 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.

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.. v' e 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. Mr. Steve Lund - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney-NCDWQ Annexation Project - Steele Creek East Area Trunk Sewer - Approx. 2.80 Miles Request for NWP 12 Page 3, September 28, 1997 Although the distance is a minimum of 10', the average width of the buffer is approximately 25'- 39. 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. Mr. Steve Lund - USACE, Mr. John R. Domey-NCDWQ Annexation Project - Steele Creek East Area Trunk Sewer - Approx. 2.80 Miles Request for NWP 12 Page 4, September 28, 1997 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. Seeding M> dure Dates TvUes April 15 - Sept.

The Director of the NCDWQ may require submission of a formal' application for Individual Certification for any project in this category of activity, if it is determined that the project is likely to have a significant adverse effect upon water quality or degrade the waters so that existing uses of the wetland or downstream waters are precluded- Public hearings may be held for specific applications or group of applications prior to a certification decision if deemed in the public's best interest by the Director of the NCDWQ. Additional USACE Regional 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. MBEA31MD AN ENDANGEUD SPFtQES 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 schweinitzii), 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. Mr. Steve Lund - USACE, Mr. John R. Domey NCDWQ Annexation Project - Steele Creek East Area Trunk Sewer - Approx. 2.80 Miles Request for NWP 12 Page 7, September 28, 1997 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. S1 9c Protected 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. Cn TURAAL RESO1=5 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.

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 covered in large 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. ames F. Matthews Steele Creek East - Sewer and Water 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 4, 1997. Trunk to Serve Sugar Creek - 10,658 ft. The ROW starts at Culp Rd. in a urban area overgrown with Kudzu. It then passes into a disturbed woods having grown in a previously abandoned pasture. The dominants are Shortleaf pine 9" dbh, Water oak 7" dbh, Sweetgum 6" dbh and a large number of Red cedar. This extends to the toe of the slope above Sugar Creek where the ROW turns south following the west side of the creek. The floodplain forest is dominated by Sweetgum 27" dbh, Green ash 15" dbh, Hackberry 13" dbh, American elm 12" dbh over Ironwood 8" dbh. It crosses an unnamed tributary flowing from Amon Ln, into a woodland pasture. The pasture has scattered trees and an open understory. The various species are White oak 28" dbh, Hackberry 25" dbh, Sweetgum 21" dbh, Green ash 18" dbh, Southern sugar maple 15" dbh and Shortleaf pine 11" dbh. It then enters the floodplain with Sycamore 28" dbh, Water oak 28" dbh, Hackberry 23" dbh and Green ash 13" dbh. However, most trees are relatively small. In a few places the toe of the slope is crossed, with the addition of White oak 16" dbh, Mockernut hickory 13" dbh, Shagbark hickory 13" dbh and Southern sugar maple 9" dbh. The floodplain vegetation remains the same, with an occasional River birch 12" dbh and patches of dense Privet as the shrub layer with some Pawpaw and Giant cane. The ROW crosses a ditch, continuing in the same floodplain/terrace or slope woods until it emerges into an active pasture near NC 51. The ROW crosses NC 51 into an active pasture/hayfield that extends all the way to the pump station. Trunk to Serve Downs Rd. - 5,13 8 ft. The ROW actually begins at the new extension of Westinghouse Blvd. in an open field, previously used as a soil borrow area, now planted in Lespedeza. It crosses a hilltop and drops into a yard, passing along the edge of the yard/urban woods to Amon Ln. It then crosses Amon Ln. into a disturbed urban woodland behind houses, paralleling the small tributary on the south side. The area is open, with a fringe of trees along the creek, Black willow 8" dbh, Cottonwood 10" dbh, Black cherry 6" dbh and Red cedar. Just west of Downs Rd., the ROW is in an open field (abandoned garden), then crosses Downs Rd. into a floodplain forest. The dominants are Water oak 23" dbh, Sweetgum 14" dbh, Shortleaf pine 8" dbh, Box elder 4" dbh and Ironwood 3" dbh. It then passes around a pond associated with a plant nursery, then down the slope, an old pasture now overgrown with Red cedar. The unnamed tributary is on the northeast side of the ROW and the vegetation is a combination of floodplain/levee and toe of slope species. These include Green ash 33" dbh, Hackberry 21" dbh, Sweetgum 20" dbh, Sycamore 14" dbh, Black SCE -2 cherry 12" dbh, and occasional Black walnut 8" dbh and Basswood 6" dbh. This extends to the woodland pasture where the ROW joins the Culp Rd. ROW along Sugar Creek. Trunk to Serve Nations Ford Rd, - 1,383 ft. This ROW follows McCullough Branch along the north side, passing entirely through active pasture until it joins the existing sewer line. Trunk to Serve Forsyth Hall Dr. - 1,332 ft. This ROW begins along Nations Ford Rd., crosses the road and follows the ROW into a business park with urban landscaping. It emerges from the business park to join an existing sewer on Forsyth Hall Dr. Texland Force Main This force main leaves a pump station alongside Texland Dr. in an urban open area. It follows the road ROW with disturbed, urban vegetation to Westinghouse Blvd., turns along the Blvd. and joins an existing sewer line. Water line to Serve Downs Rd. This water line follows the road ROW along Amon Ln. between Westinghouse Blvd. and Downs Rd. There were no species noted that are currently on the N.C. Natural Heritage Program list for Mecklenburg County, nor were any plants of the Federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). es .

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET The county species list from the 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 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 lldlife 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). CODE STATUS E Endangered T Threatened P_ Proposed L_ Listed C Candidate FSC Federal 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 I (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 313 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 l Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.

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.

Our designers for the annexation program are Hazen and Sawyer and W. K. Dickson, both of Charlotte, 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 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 1--Steele Creek East Area- Annexation Sewer and Water. This contract consists of approximately 24,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer trunk and 1,100 linear feet of water main to serve residential areas bordered by the New Outer Belt (I-485), NC-51, US-521, and I-77. The contract will be constructed on private lands and State right-of-way. The sanitary sewer trunks cross jurisdictional waters and wetlands in fifteen 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 area. In addition, there is one trunk line that we need to notify and request concurrence from your Division. The trunk to Nations Ford Road, Exhibits 13A, 13B, 13C, and 13D, does not have the minimum 10-foot undisturbed buffer along the stream bank. The reason for this is that this trunk was designed by CMUD prior to the present regulations in a period of 5 to 7 years ago. CMUD accordingly procured easements from property owners over 5 years ago for this alignment. Rather than redesign the line and obtain new easements from property owners, CMUD would request your concurrence to leave the alignment "as is" and perform any necessary restoration to disturbed stream bank.
