Per your request, attached is the Certification approval issued for the Asbury Avenue
Extension project (DWQ Project No. 02-0638). I've circled the location Mr. Alexander's
property (DWQ Project No. 03-0096) on a copy of the vicinity map that was provided
with the Asbury Avenue application. The applicant did not request impacts to a stream
within the location of Mr. Alexander's property. Has the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) declared this feature to be subject to their jurisdiction? If so, then please
provide a copy of their Jurisdictional Determination. The feature is not depicted on
either the USGS or Soil Survey maps. The evaluation forms completed by you seem to
indicate that it would be a stream subject to USACE jurisdiction. If indeed this is a
stream subject to USACE jurisdiction, then we will contact the Asbury Avenue project
representatives and determine why it was not depicted on their plans. Please be aware
that we are going to keep 03-0096 on hold until we receive this information.
Also, please note that we have sent this information to the DWQ Mooresville Regional
Office for their review, as well as Charlotte Stormwater Services. Please call me or
John Dorney (919-733-9646), if you have any questions.

Enclosed, please find a courtesy copy of a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for the placement
of fill material in approximately 120 linear feet of unimportant intermittent stream channel for the
purpose of expanding a parking area at a business located at the intersection of Statesville Avenue
and McArthur Avenue within the City of Charlotte, North Carolina. This additional parking is
required because of road widening activities on both Statesville Avenue and McArthur Avenue,
which result in a 50 percent loss of existing parking available for the business. Accompanying
this information are two location figures and a figure generated by the City of Charlotte depicting
the pipe placement under McArthur Avenue that will adjoin our project.
A courtesy copy of this PCN is being provided to NC DWQ because the project impacts are less
than the threshold required for formal coordination. However, we are available to answer any
questions you may have about the project and look forward working with you on this project
should your review lead you to any questions about the project.
Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me.

at the time of this application: The site is currently used as a commercial facility (barber
Page 6 of 13
shop) with two rental spaces attached. The City of Charlotte is currently widening Statesville
Avenue and McArthur Avenue which will inhibit the use of the site because of a substantial
reduction in the availability of parking for the facility. The area surrounding the subject
property is generally mixed residential/commercial.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project will consist of the placement of a culvert to convey any flows from stormwater and
groundwater generated in the upper portion of the watershed of the unnamed tributary and
the placement of fill on top of the culvert in order to build up the site to a suitable elevation
for the construction of parking area for the businesses located on the site.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Site constraints such as the size of the propertv (<1-acre) and the fact that portions of the site
are currently being consumed by the widening of Statesville Avenue and McArthur Avenue
making the useable portions of the site even smaller does not allow for much avoidance and
minimization of impacts in this instance. However, the impacts as proposed do generally meet
the conditions of minimal impacts to jurisdictional areas.
Page 9 of 13
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 March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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.us/ncwettands/strmaide.html.
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.
No mitigation should be required for this project due to the nature of the impacts being
proposed by the project (impacts will be no more than minimal to an unimportant intermittent
streams
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
,Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Page 10 of 13
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
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 ?
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 ?
X. 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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify City of Charlotte SWIM
Buffer on Irwin Creek)?
Yes ® No El If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
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* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 N/A 3
2 N/A 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 11 of 13
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
The project does occur within the City of Charlotte's SWIM buffer on Irwin Creek. The
applicant will be working with the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental
Protection in order to satisfy all requirements under the SWIM buffer rules.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Specific acreages of impervious surfaces have not yet been determined but will likely to be
close to half of the total property size. Stormwater controls will be designed to meet or exceed
the requirements of the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County" NC.
XH. 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.
A final desiRn has not been completed so the methods for treating wastewater have not been
finalized. However, stormwater controls will be designed to meet or exceed the requirements of
the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg, County, NC.
X1H. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other 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
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
Work has already_beun on the widening of Statesville Avenue and on McArthur Avenue_ A
large portion of the available parkinhas been consumed in the widening of these two roads. _ A
