Dear Mr. Vick:

This is in response to your letter of June 6, 1995 requesting
modification of Special Condition No. 2 of your Department of the
Army (DA) permit issued on June 20, 1994 which authorized the
discharge of fill materials into approximately 6.8 acres of waters
and wetlands in the headwaters of Fourmile Creek and Flat Branch to
construct a 2.5-mile long segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop
Highway (I-485) between the planned Rea Road interchange and
Providence Road south of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina.
Specifically your request was to modify Special Condition No.
2 in order to allow the North Carolina Department of Transportation
to retain indefinite ownership and management of the Porter Road
Swamps Mitigation Area. While we can appreciate the difficulties
you have experienced in locating a suitable, local conservation
organization, we still believe that local, onsite management of the
area would best insure its continued maintenance, protection and
preservation. We also believe that the public interest would be
best served by allowing some low-intensity use of the area such as
scientific study and research, educational programs, wildlife
photography and the like. Your concerns over potential
development of the site or unauthorized sale of portions of the
property could be addressed through deed restrictions or similar
legal mechanisms. Therefore, Special Condition No. 2 of the
referenced DA permit is hereby modified to require the transfer of
the Porter Road Swamps Mitigation Area to an appropriate
conservation organization by June 20, 1996. All other terms and
conditions of the original permit remain in full force and effect.

We are aware that the Charlotte-based Catawba Lands
Conservancy (CLC) would accept donation of the Porter Road Swamps
site and has prepared a management plan for the area that involves
a cooperative stewardship agreement among the CLC, Mecklenburg
County Parks and Recreation Department, the North Carolina
Herpetological Society, and the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte. The CLC is also prepared to engage in a fund raising
campaign to establish a management endowment for the site. Their
basic mission statement as well as specific objectives for the site
are highly compatable with our goals for the area. We recommend
that you continue your discussions with the CLC with a view toward
resolving your concerns.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Steven Lund at
telephone [phone].

Dear Mr. Vick:
Reference your written request of November 8, 1993 (received on
November 18, 1993) for Department of the Army (DA) permit authorization to
place fill materials into 5.3 acres of waters and wetlands to construct a 2.5
mile segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway (I-485) between the proposed
Rea d interchange and Providence Road (NC Highway 16) south of Charlotte,
."County, North Carolina. These waters and wetlands are located in
the headwaters of Four Mile Creek and Flat Branch and you have requested
authorization to proceed with construction under DA Nationwide Permit No. 26.
A number of public interest concerns have surfaced from our review of your
proposed project. Most of these concerns have been expressed to you by my
Regulatory staff in your monthly permit coordination meetings and remain
unresolved at this time. Our concerns are as follows:
a. The proposed road would cross two mafic depressional swamps, which are
rare wetlands of the piedmont region. Locally there are less than a dozen
known examples of this wetland type in Mecklenburg County and they are all
generally small in size (1-3 acres) so their areal extent is not great. The
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program has identified these wetlands as
significant both regionally and statewide for their natural area values,
unique vegetation associations and potential. for rare and uncommon plant and
animal species. Surveys are ongoing at this time so the full implications of
your proposed fill are unknown.
b. The cumulative effects of highway construction across the two
depressional swamps in question are also of concern. The source of hydrology
for these wetlands comes from surface runoff. Disruption of the normal
hyroperiod from ditching, diversion of runoff, sedimentation, and lack of.
culverting would have adverse effects well beyond the immediate footprint of
the fill. Because wetland hydrology persists in these areas due to the
presence of a shallow clay hardpan, we are also concerned about the effects
throughout the wetland of substrate removal from the road corridor. It is
very probable that the overall negative impact to these depressional swamps
will be far in excess of the 1.5 acres per wetland that you have indicated in
your nationwide permit application.
-2-
c. Mafic depressional swamps were not identified or considered in the
environmental impact statement process for the Southern Outer Loop Highway.
We recognize your recent efforts to look at alternative alignments through
this area, but the information provided thus far is not sufficient for us to
conclude that avoidance or minimization of impacts to these wetlands is not
practicable. In particular, further consideration is due of minor shifts in
roadway alignment, reducing the fill area, minimizing clearing, grubbing and
excavation, and minimizing the disruption of hydrology.
d. My Regulatory staff has previously recommended compensatory mitigation
for unavoidable impacts to mafic depressional swamps and encouraged you to
explore the preservation and management of other wetlands of this type within
the county. Your permit request contains no mitigation proposal.
Based on the above, I find that the proposed activity would have more than
minimal adverse effects on the environment, and that these concerns cannot be
adequately addressed within the time constraints of the pre-discharge
notification process of the nationwide permit or by the nationwide permit
general conditions. I have therefore concluded that your proposed
construction of this 2.5 mile segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway does
not qualify for authorization by nationwide permit but should undergo a full
public interest review.
Please submit an individual DA permit application to initiate this
process. Because this section of road would not be functional without the
proposed mafic depressional swamp crossings, the permit process must consider
the totality of wetland impacts throughout the project area. Your permit
plans should include all water and wetland crossings.
If you have any questions, please contact me or Dr. Wayne Wright of my
Regulatory staff at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
George L. Cajigal

Dear Mr. Vick:

Reference the Department of the Army permit issued on May 19, 1992, the
subsequent modification of November 29, 1993 which authorized construction of
elevated boardwalks through wetlands and your written request of
December 1, 1994, for permit modification to construct 960 linear feet of
14-foot-wide concrete trail in place of the boardwalk.
We have considered your request and conducted additional review of the
project site. We find that construction of a concrete fill trail confined to
the authorized limits of the roadway approach fill at both McMullen and
McAlpine Creeks would have only minimal impacts to wetlands that have been
previously disturbed. We also find, however, that extension of fill trails
into the undisturbed wetlands within your right-of-way would disrupt wetland
hydrology over a wide area and would lead to additional wetland fill when the
public greenway trails are eventually linked in this area. We have also
required Mecklenburg County to boardwalk over similar wetlands on McMullen
Creek in an earlier permit action.
Therefore, the authorization to construct elevated boardwalk through
wetlands is hereby modified to allow the construction of 14-foot-wide concrete
trail only within the limits of the authorized roadway approach fills
(240 linear feet at McAlpine Creek, 235 linear feet at McMullen Creek). It is
understood that all conditions of the original permit remain applicable and
that the expiration date is unchanged.

SUBJECT: Mecklenburg County - South Charlotte Outer Loop
from existing NC 51 Interchange to Idlewild Road
and West Charlotte Outer Loop from NC 49 to I-77;
T.I.P. Nos. R-0211DA/DB/DD/DC/EA/EB, R-2248AA,

and 199401494; DEM IDs. 93273, 94096, 94382
The purpose of this correspondence is to inform you of
progress with the four mitigation sites involved in these
projects. The South Charlotte Outer Loop from NC 51 to Rea
Road (T.I.P. Nos. R-0211DA/DB/DD) involves two sites, the
Mecklenburg County park at Mallard Creek Church Road, and the
property on Little Sugar Creek at NC 51 and Leitner Drive.
The West Charlotte Outer Loop from NC 49 to I-77 (T.I.P. No.
R-2248AA) and South and East Charlotte Outer Loop from Rea
Road to Idlewild Road (T.I.P. Nos. R-0211DC/EA/EB and part of
R-2123AA) collectively involve two sites, Porter Road Swamp
and a property at Long Creek in north Charlotte.
Site work was begun at the two Mallard Creek Church Road
sites in February, 1994, as required. After a full month
beyond the first day of site construcion, the subcontractor
hired for this project defaulted on the contract. They
believed that the work would cost more than they had agreed
upon in the contract, and refused to proceed further with
no

construction. Therefore, NCDOT had to take time to hire
another subcontractor. The new subcontractor has committed
to completing all excavation and seeding required on the
sites by July 26, 1994, barring extraordinary climatic
events. Subsequently, placement of groundwater monitoring
wells on the newly graded sites will be conducted by the
NCDOT Geotechnical Unit. Planting of bottomland hardwood
seedlings by the subcontractor will begin on or after
November 15, 1994, with a completion date of December 31,
1994. An as-built report will be submitted to the Corps and
Division of Environmental Management at that time.
Monitoring of groundwater wells and vegetative sampling
plots, along with the required progress reports, will follow
in the spring of 1995.
The 21-acre property on Little Sugar Creek was recently
re-surveyed by NC-DOT. The property-agent had been notified
by the developer of the adjacent property of errors in the
available floodplain and road maps, and had requested this
additional work prior to completion of the site negotiations.
A copy of the deed for this property will be transmitted to
you as soon as possible after the July 15, 1994 closing date.
NCDOT will be completing contour mapping of the site in July.
Given the time required for site planning, agency review;
plus preparation and awarding of contracts, we expect to
begin construction on this site in 1995, with monitoring of
plantings to begin in the spring of 1996.
Right-of-way negotiations are progressing for the mafic
depression preservation site, Porter Road Swamp. We expect
to close on this property in early to mid August, 1994, with
a copy of the deed to be transmitted to you as soon as
possible.
NCDOT has tried unsuccessfully to acquire two ponds
adjacent to the Charlotte Outer Loop, and the Walker Branch
mafic depressions for additional mitigation. We will
therefore need to debit mitigation credits from the Long
Creek mitigation site. This site is currently under
appraisal, and we expect to close on the property in mid-
September, 1994. A copy of the deed will be transmitted to
you upon receipt. The site owner was able to provide us a
boundary survey, but NCDOT will need to do additional surveys
of elevations, sewerlines, streams, and treelines. As with
the site at Little Sugar Creek, we anticipate site planning
and review to proceed well into 1995, with monitoring to
begin in the spring of 1996.
NCDOT personnel will be visiting the three bottomland
hardwood mitigation sites on Monday, June 27, 1994, to
discuss grading, hydrology, and other site details. We plan
to be at the site on Little Sugar Creek at 10:30 a.m., and
invite any resource agency personnel interested to attend
this field meeting.
Thank you for your continued assistance with this
project. If you have any questions, please contact Cyndi
Bell at [phone].

217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as
to prevent significant increase in turbidity
outside the area of construction or construction
related discharge (increases such that, the
turbidity in the stream is 25 NTU's or less are
not considered significant).
2. Mitigation shall be done for these projects as follows:
a. A preservation area of approximately 45 acres
shall be established for impacts to mafic
depressions (DEM # 94096), and
b. a restoration/creation area of at least 10 acres
of wetlands shall be obtained and developed in
Mecklenburg County to offset unavoidable water
quality impacts to riparian wetlands in COE
Permit 199401494 (DEM # 94382).
3. A final mitigation plan shall be developed and submitted
for written DEM approval before construction begins on
R-211EA, EB, R-2123AA and R-2248AA following the COE
guidelines for bottomland hardwood forest mitigation.
DEM shall be copied on all mitigation and annual
monitoring reports for the extent of the monitoring.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in
revocation of this Certification. This Certification shall become
null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal or Costal Area Management Act Permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right
to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in
the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. Unless such
demands are made, this Certification shall be final and binding.

Through: Greg Thorpe

From: John DornegpP67
Subject: Charlotte Ouster Loo Permit
Mitigation Proposal
' , _-, I ? Z)
l_
Applications and DOT's
DOT has submitted two applications for Individual Permits on the
Charlotte Outer Loop. The first application is for a 2.5 mile segment
that would impact 5.2 acres of wetlands. The second application is
for a 9.5 mile segment that would impact 13.4 acres of wetlands.
Wetland impacts total 18.6 acres (see attached maps). We have made
site inspections of most of these wetlands. DOT has an alignment that
cannot be relocated due to development up to the right-of-way. The
table on the next page lists the wetland sizes, types and rating.
DOT's applications will impact 4.5 acres of mafic depressions and
approximately 14 acres of bottomland hardwoods along small streams.
Mafic depressions are a unique wetland type that is found
exclusively in Mecklenburg County. Mafic depressions perform limited
water quality functions because they are rainwater feed. They provide
excellent amphibian and wildlife habitat.
DOT proposes to preserve a 45 acre site within Mecklenburg County
as wetland mitigation. The site includes approximately 17 acres of
mafic depressions and approximately 28 acres of upland buffer to allow
the wetland to continue to function properly. With all of the
development occurring in the county, we believe that the 45 acres of
mafic depression/upland mitigation adequately compensates for DOT
impacting 4.5 acres of mafic depression. Our regulations require us
to protect existing uses (Antidegradation water quality standard).
Bottomland hardwood wetlands serve important water quality functions
such as water storage, streambank stabilization, and pollutant
removal. Since DOT is not proposing to replace the wetlands that
perform water quality functions, there will be a loss of these uses in
violation of the Antidegradation standard. Therefore, I propose that
we condition the 401 Certification to require DOT to mitigate at a 1:1
ratio for the 10 acres of significant water quality related wetlands
(high-lighted in table). We are not requesting mitigation for all
wetland impacts, and the mitigation ratio is less than the standard
2:1 for wetland creation. The Corps and other Federal agencies will
not require mitigation beyond the mafic depression preservation.
Needless to say, DOT does not want to be required to do any additional
mitigation.
DOT needs a 401/404 decision by 1 June 1994 to meet their bid let
deadlines. If you concur with this recommendation, I'll write a
Certification with an additional condition to 'require 10 acres of
bottomland hardwood mitigation for these projects.
We have suggested that DOT investigate several areas that have

Steve Tedder Memo

Page 2
potential for wetland mitigation. DOT also has located potential
sites that have good potential for restoration or creation. DOT, to
their credit, has located these sites to develop up-front mitigation
with no specific plans to debit them for a specific project.
Therefore, DOT could develop one of these sites to satisfy a
bottomland hardwood mitigation condition of the 401 Certification.

Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director
MEMORANDUM
TO: John R. Parker, Jr., Inland 11404" Coordinator
Dept. of Environment, Health, & Natural Resources
FROM: David Cox, Highway Project Coordinato
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 18, 1994
SUBJECT: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice for
Action ID No. 199400840, review of application for
North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) to fill approximately 6.8 acres of waters
and wetlands to construct a 2.5 mile segment of
the Charlotte Outer Loop, from the proposed Rea
Road Interchange to Providence Road (NC 16),
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Biologists on the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) staff have reviewed the information provided by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our comments are provided in
accordance with certain provisions of the Clean Water Act of
1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-
667d).
The proposed project involves constructing a 2.5 mile
segment of 4-lane divided highway with full control of
access, as part of the Charlotte Outer Loop. Impacts to
wetlands include 4.5 acres of depressional swamp and 0.70
acres of alluvial forest.
Mitigation proposed by NCDOT for these impacts involves
preservation of an area known as Porter Road Swamps located
Southwest of Charlotte. This site consists of approximately
17.5 acres of depressional swamp with approximately 27 acres
of upland buffer.
Memo
Page 2 May 18, 1994
The NCWRC feels that the proposed mitigation is
adequate for the 4.5 acres of depressional swamp to be.
impacted by construction of the proposed facility. It
should be noted that this is considerably less than the
normal preservation ratio of 10 to 1. Due to the quality of
the Porter Road Swamp site and the important role that an
upland buffer plays in maintaining the integrity of these
depressional areas, we agree with including the upland areas
in the mitigation ratio. However, our acceptance of this
proposal is contingent upon NCDOT actually obtaining the
Porter Road Swamps site.
The NCWRC remains concerned about the additional 0.70
acres of alluvial Brest impacts. NCDOT has proposed no
mitigation for this wetland type. The NCWRC requests that
NCDOT propose in-kind mitigation for the additional 0.70
acres of forested wetland impacts or credit these impacts to
mitigation sites for other segments of the Charlotte Outer
Loop.
We recommend that the proposed project be modified to
incorporate the preceding recommendations prior to issuance
of a wetlands fill permit or attending water quality
certification.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on
this project,. If I can be of any further assistance please
call me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Dorney:
NM 8?
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways, Attn: Mr. H. Franklin Vick, for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification
to place fill material into approximately 6.8 acres of waters and wetlands in
the headwaters of Fourmile Creek and Flat Branch to construct a 2.5-mile long
segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway (I-485) between the proposed Rea
Road interchange and Providence Road (NC Highway 16) south of Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your
acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section
325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same
law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by July 4, 1994, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steven Lund, Asheville
Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

Action ID: 199400840 May 5, 1994
PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS,
POST OFFICE BOX 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611, has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL INTO APPROXIMATELY
6.8 ACRES OF WATERS AND WETLANDS IN THE HEADWATERS OF FOURMILE CREEK AND FLAT
BRANCH TO CONSTRUCT A 2.5-MILE LONG SEGMENT OF THE CHARLOTTE OUTER LOOP
HIGHWAY (I-485) BETWEEN THE PROPOSED REA ROAD INTERCHANGE AND PROVIDENCE ROAD
(NC HIGHWAY 16) SOUTH OF Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed construction of a 2.5-mile long segment of four
lane, controlled access, divided highway that is part of a planned
circumferential loop around the City of Charlotte. The proposed road would
impact approximately 1.6 acres of stream channel at 4 separate crossings.
These streams are small, headwaters tributaries to Fourmile Creek. An
additional 5.2 acres of forested wetlands would be affected at five separate
locations within the headwaters of Flat Branch, a tributary to Sixmile Creek.
The majority of the wetland area (4.5 acres) consists of depressional swamp
dominated by overcup and willow oak. Depressional swamps are rare wetlands of
the southern piedmont occupying shallow depressions on broad upland flats or
ridge tops and are characterized by clay soils and surface ponding of runoff
and rainfall. The remaining wetlands (0.70 acres) consist of narrow borders
of alluvial forest along shallow drainways vegetated with such species as
sweet gum, willow oak, red maple and green ash. One small pond is also
proposed to be filled. The footprint of the proposed roadfill through wetland
areas is generally between 220 and 240 feet wide. Approximately 27,700 cubic
yards of material would be discharged into waters and wetlands for this
project. Fill for the road would be obtained from unspecified upland borrow
areas. In order to mitigate for these intended wetland impacts, the applicant
proposes to preserve approximately 17.5 acres of depressional swamp and
associated wetlands together with approximately 27 acres of forested upland
buffer area at a site known as the Porter Road Swamps located southwest of
Charlotte. The purpose of the proposed work is to provide a new public
highway facility. Plans showing the proposed work are included with this
public notice.

needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
May 20, 1994.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 29535, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27626-9535, on or before May 20, 1994, Attention: Mr. John
Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Steven Lund, until 4:15 p.m., May
20, 1994, or telephone [phone].

Mr. Frank Vick
North Carolina Department of Transportation
Division of Highways
Post Office Box 25201
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Vick:
Reference your written request of November 8, 1993 (received on
November 18, 1993) for Department of the Army (DA) permit authorization to
place fill materials into 5.3 acres of waters and wetlands to construct a 2.5
mile segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway (I-485) between the proposed
Rea Road interchange and Providence Road (NC Highway 16) south of Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. These waters and wetlands are located in
the headwaters of Four Mile Creek and Flat Branch and you have requested
authorization to proceed with construction under DA Nationwide Permit No. 26.
A number of public interest concerns have surfaced from our review of your
proposed project. Most of these concerns have been expressed to you by my
Regulatory staff in your monthly permit coordination meetings and remain
unresolved at this time. Our concerns are as follows:
a. The proposed road would cross two mafic depressional swamps, which are
rare wetlands of the piedmont region. Locally there are less than a dozen
known examples of this wetland type in Mecklenburg County and they are all
generally small in size (1-3 acres) so their areal extent is not great. The
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program has identified these wetlands as
significant both regionally and statewide for their natural area values,
unique vegetation associations and potential for rare and uncommon plant and
animal species. Surveys are ongoing at this time so the full implications of
your proposed fill are unknown.
b. The cumulative effects of highway construction across the two
depressional swamps in question are also of concern. The source of hydrology
for these wetlands comes from surface runoff. Disruption of the normal
hydroperiod from ditching, diversion of runoff, sedimentation, and lack of
culverting would have adverse effects well beyond the immediate footprint of
the fill. Because wetland hydrology persists in these areas due to the
presence of a shallow clay hardpan, we are also concerned about the effects
throughout the wetland of substrate removal from the road corridor. It is
very probable that the overall negative impact to these depressional swamps
will be far in excess of the 1.5 acres per wetland that you have indicated in
your nationwide permit application.

-2-
c. Mafic depressional swamps were not identified or considered in the
environmental impact statement process for the Southern Outer Loop Highway.
We recognize your recent efforts to look at alternative alignments through
this area, but the information provided thus far is not sufficient for us to
conclude that avoidance or minimization of impacts to these wetlands is not
practicable. In particular, further consideration is due of minor shifts in
roadway alignment, reducing the fill area, minimizing clearing, grubbing and
excavation, and minimizing the disruption of hydrology.
d. My Regulatory staff has previously recommended compensatory mitigation
for unavoidable impacts to mafic depressional swamps and encouraged you to
explore the preservation and management of other wetlands of this type within
the county. Your permit request contains no mitigation proposal.
Based on the above, I find that the proposed activity would have more than
minimal adverse effects on the environment, and that these concerns cannot be
adequately addressed within the time constraints of the pre-discharge
notification process of the nationwide permit or by the nationwide permit
general conditions. I have therefore concluded that your proposed
construction of this 2.5 mile segment of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway does
not qualify for authorization by nationwide permit but should undergo a full
public interest review.
Please submit an individual DA permit application to initiate this
process. Because this section of road would not be functional without the
proposed mafic depressional swamp crossings, the permit process must consider
the totality of wetland impacts throughout the project area. Your permit
plans should include all water and wetland crossings.
If you have any questions, please contact me or Dr. Wayne Wright of my
Regulatory staff at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
George L. Cajigal

!!one of tri? reaSiole altel'213L_veS studied would

feel that any of the alternatives designed to minimize
i.I:,pacts would be justified, considering the impacts to local
communities and escalation of costs that would be associated
with these measures. Therefore; we propose mitigation for
the impacts to be incurred by this project. We are
discussing the acquisition of Porter Road Swamp with the
Crosland Group, who currently have an option on the property
which includes this system, and are planning development of
the uplands onsite. The Porter Road Swamp is one of the
largest, highest quality mafic depression systems in North
Carolina. The site report prepared by the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program is included with this package. This
report details the location and biological characteristics of
Porter Road Swamp. Although the Crosland Group do not intend
to develop the 17.5 acres of mafic depressions on this
property, they are not planning to preserve extensive upland
buffers around these depressions We have tentatively
discussed acquisition of a total of 45 acres of this site,
which would include the .:tails depressions together with about
37 acres of upland buffer. The Crosland Group is currently
preparing a provisional site plan to reflect this proposed
NCDOT mitigation area. Further negotiations on purchase o
this site will be contingent upon approval of the mitigation
site for the purposes of this project.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army
permit as required for such activities. By copy of this
letter, we are also requesting 401 water Quality
Certification by the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.

None of the feasib- e alternatives --studied--wt;t ld
com'Oletel,- avoid impacts to mafic depressions. We do not
feel that any of the alternatives designed to minimize
impacts would be justified, considering the impacts to local
communities and escalation of costs that would be associated
with these measures. Therefore, we propose mitigation for
the impacts-to be incurred by this project we are
discussing the acquisition of Porter Road Swamp with the

which includes this system, and are planning development Of

SUBJECT: Mecklenburg county - Southern Charlotte Outer
Loop from Rea Road -e Providence, Road, T.I.P.
No. R-0211DC: State Project No. 8.1570102
The North Carolina Departure:?t of Transportation proposes
to construct a new controlled-access. 4-lane divided highway
from Rea Road to Providence road i;l Chariotte. These
ir,provements will include appro-x,imately 2- .5 'Les of the
Southern Charlotte Outer Loci.
The attached drawings illusgrate six locations at which
fill in wetlands will x, r.uquired. ?;_ ? additional_ sites
involving fill in stirs ace waters are l (:- illilstrated }:ere in.
All of the wetland. fill -location:occur Above Headwaters.
Each of.these sites will involve 1.5 ._:c--es or less of fill in
wetlands. It is anticipated that all of these proposed
crossings may be permitted unde_, Nationwide Permit T28 for
projects Above Headwat--,s, 3- C'F 3- 0 . 5 ?) .
Sites 0 and 10 have been iden,_.ified as mafic
depressions. During previous. d.isc._l si:Dlls with personnel in
the DOA Regulatory field Office in Asheville, an additional
mafic depression was identified. i_1 the path of the proposed
Tom Short Road reloc.ationi. Please note that this road
relocation has been e - 'es ?g le? L v =:v f 1'
1 in wetlands
ALSO, a sheet 11LuStratllig the _:?C;.ti',1? Of the hardpan
wetland east of Tom Short Road iias bee:-i1 Inc '.tided.. Please
note that this svstem lies 75 feet sc._.,_.- of the f.ll slope
and just outside the clearing limits:.
V"
NCDOT has studied two feasible alternative corridors
that would completely avoid the two mafic depressions to be
impacted by the preferred corridor. Both alternates diverge
from the preferred alignment just east of the Rea Road
interchange, and converge with the preferred route just west
of NC 16 (Providence Road). Alternate 1 follows the existing
alignment approximately 150 feet to the north. This
alternate would impact approximately 1.5 acres of one mafic
depression located just north of Site #'10. Furthermore, this
alternate would impact a golf course at the Piper Glen
subdivision and would require condemnation of five houses at
the Raintree subdivision. Alternate 2 curves to the south,
crossing Tom Short Road approximately 550 feet south of the
preferred corridor. This alternate would impact
approximately 1.0 acre of a mafic depression located 400 feet
southeast of Providence Road West. Additional impacts would
include condemnation of at least twenty-four houses in the
Brittany Oaks subdivision. Both alternatives would involve
substantial increases in noise levels at adjacent
subdivisions.
The proposed alignment occurs in the species range of
Helianthus schweinitzii. The flowering season for this
species extends from mid-September to mid-October. As
positive identification of this species is best made duri.ig
the flowering season, a survey was conducted in all suitable
habitat along all of the alternative corridors on October 11
and 12; 1993. This species was not observed within any of.
the potential project corridors.
A fiber-optic cable is to be placed within a conduit and
buried beneath the highway (Sheet 10). The conduit will
cross the road just east of a mafic depression (Site ?6).
Please inform us if any additional permits will apply to this
work.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army
permit as required for such activities. By copy of this
letter, we are also requesting 401 Water Quality
Certification by the North Carolina Division of Environi-in.ental
Management.

Raleigh at [phone].
