Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov Good morning gents, The City of Charlotte, Engineering and Property Management, is requesting a permit modification for the above reference project in order to conduct bank stabilization activities along 75 If of McMullen Creek. Stabilization activities consist of minor bank grading, matting, and seeding. No hard armoring or the placement of rip -rap is proposed and the activities do not include greater than 1 cubic yard per running foot of material placed below OWHM. Discharges into a special aquatic site (riffle/pool complex) will not occur in the project area or within the immediate vicinity of the project area, however, a detailed reach assessment for special aquatic sites was not conducted. Please find the attached modification request document and review it at your convenience. Please advise whether the work is permitted with no notification or if a formal permit modification is necessary. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks!

The modification is requested to include bank stabilization (NWP 13) along both banks of McMullen Creek in the project area. The City has identified that both banks along McMullen Creek, in the vicinity of the pedestrian bridge, demonstrate evidence of active erosion and propose to conduct bank stabilization activities including minor grading, matting and seeding. No hard armoring along the bridge abutments or within the existing channel banks is proposed. The proposed activity will create bank angles and hydraulic geometry that will promote vegetation and root mass to extend from the water's edge up to the top of the channel banks while reducing bank source sediment from eroding banks. The following information is included as part of this modification request: • Project Summary Sheet • Revised Stream Impacts Table on PCN pg. 7 • Revised Permit Figure Please feel free to contact me at (704) 409-1802 if you have any questions or if additional information is necessary.

Site Description: The project area includes a maintained sanitary sewer easement throughout the entirety of the project area and is bound by I-485 on the east and a water treatment plant, including some undeveloped forested areas to the west. Impact Summary (if applicable): The project will result in 98 linear feet of permanent impacts to potential non -wetland waters of the US. The project will result in permanent impacts to 0.009 acres of potential wetland waters of the US. 40 linear feet of temporary impacts to potential non -wetland waters and 0.07 acres of temporary impacts to potential wetland waters are necessary to conduct rely construction activities.
