Existing Conditions
The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Introduction
The 411 Briarpatch Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately one mile east of the Sharon Amity Road - Randolph Road intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted
Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide permitting services for this project. The goals
of this project are to decrease residential flooding and reduce erosion of Stream A. This project
proposes to impact approximately 530 linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent channel
(Stream A). The majority of Stream A is lined with hand placed concrete rubble. CSWS is
submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with attachments in accordance with
Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to a Nationwide Permit (NWP) No.
39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3362 (Attachment B).
Current Land Use
The current land use for the site and the surrounding area is residential. Dominant vegetation
consists of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), willow oak
(Quercus phellos), red elm (Ulmus rubra), red oak (Quercus rubra), and water oak
(Quercus nigra). A portion of the project area is located within the FEMA 100-Year Floodplain
(Attachment A - Figure 3).
Jurisdictional Delineation
CWS's Gregg Antemann and Kip Kerecman investigated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.'
on October 1 and 17, 2001 using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site
Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual.2 No wetlands were located within the project limits. A Routine On-Site Data
Form representative of adjacent upland areas has been included as Attachment D - DPL
1 "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2001-0160

On-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. include an unnamed tributary to (Stream A), and a portion
of, McMullen Creek (Attachment A - Figure 4). McMullen Creek is located within the lower
Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103)3, and is classified as "Class C" waters by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). CSWS is requesting written verification of the jurisdictional
determination of Stream A. A Request for Jurisdictional Determination Form has been included as
Attachment C.
Stream Classifications
Stream A flows south across the site to its confluence with McMullen Creek. The on-site portion
of Stream A appears to be Unimportant Intermittent and exhibits eroding stream banks, a weak
adjacent floodplain, and a two-foot average ordinary high water width
(Attachments E and F - SCP1). The majority of Stream A is lined with hand placed concrete
rubble. This portion of stream channel scored 26 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form. A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A has been
included as Attachment G - Photograph A.
Stream B is a portion of McMullen Creek and is classified as Perennial. This channel exhibits
strong groundwater discharge and stream substrate consisting of coarse sand to cobble. Fish,
amphibians, and crayfish were all present at the time of the field investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCP2). Stream B scored 44.25 out of a 71 possible points on the
NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of McMullen Creek has been included as
Attachment G - Photograph B.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of the proposed work is to alleviate residential flooding problems and reduce
channel erosion of Stream A. The house at 411 Briarpatch Lane currently experiences
crawlspace and carport flooding during high flow events because the channel cannot convey the
two-year frequency storm. Stream A also exhibits significant erosion due to high water velocity
during storm events. The proposed improvements are being designed to accommodate the
two-year frequency storm according to Charlotte Storm Water Services design standards.

Avoidance and Minimization
An alternatives analysis was conducted to determine the least damaging site plan while still
meeting the goals of the project. The original plan included placing rip rap along the entire
length of the on-site portion of Stream A to reduce erosion. The revised plan utilizes gabion drop
structures to dissipate stream velocity and reduce erosion. Rip rap placement is limited to the
areas just below the gabion drop structures, at a pipe outfall, and just before Stream A's
confluence with McMullen Creek (Attachment H - Figure 5).
Channel relocation activities are also necessary to meet the goals of the project. The upstream
channel relocation is designed to pull the existing channel away from nearby houses and
structures in order to decrease residential flooding. The downstream channel relocation is
necessary to allow excavation of the stream banks to a 3:1 slope. This portion must be relocated
to avoid relocating an adjacent sanitary sewer line, impacting a stand of mature pine trees, and
constraints associated with the construction easement.
Stabilization is necessary to minimize erosion and enhance water quality. Soft stabilization
techniques will be utilized whenever possible. Rip rap will only be used in high erosion areas
and will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Rip rap is necessary to stabilize
approximately 119 linear feet (22%) of the stream channel. C-350 erosion control matting will
be used to stabilize the remaining 370 linear feet of stream channel located upstream and
downstream of the gabion drop structures. In addition, the side slopes will be seeded with grass
and other sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbance to
downstream waters. This project will not result in any above-grade fills within the FEMA
100-Year Floodplain.

Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
According to NCDWQ Water Quality Certification No. 3362, any project proposing re-alignment
of streams must submit a stream relocation plan. Relocated stream designs should include the same
dimensions, patterns, and profiles as the existing channel to the maximum extent practicable.
CSWS is proposing to modify the relocated and non-relocated portions of Stream A in order to
accommodate the 2-year frequency storm (Attachment H - Figure 5). The 2-year frequency storm
is the CSWS design standard for storm water channels. Drainage improvements will include
deepening and widening the channel and "laying back" the banks to a 3:1 slope. All channel work
will take place in the dry and will be stabilized prior to the introduction of water. Soil excavated for
the new channel will be temporarily stockpiled in an upland area. 57 stone will be used to line the
old channel for drainage and will be backfilled with soil excavated for the new channel. All excess
soil will be removed to an upland disposal area.
Additional typical requirements of a stream relocation plan include the establishment of a 30-foot
wide wooded buffer and an additional adjacent 20-foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practicable. The channel currently runs through the
maintained lawns of several property owners. Existing trees will be avoided to the maximum extent
possible and any trees lost due to the relocation of the channel will be replaced. A 50-foot wide
vegetated buffer will be maintained adjacent to the newly constructed channel to the maximum
extent practicable.
Flow calculations to justify the use of rip rap have been included below. In general, the use of rip
rap and gabion drop structures, in various locations is necessary to reduce stream velocity. Class II
rip rap is necessary to sufficiently dissipate stream velocity for the pipe outfall at the head of
Stream A. The average discharge for the 25-year storm event was calculated to be 67 cubic feet per
second (cfs). The 25-year storm event is the standard used for outlet protection. This discharge
correlates to a velocity of 9.47 feet per second (ft/s) at the pipe outlet. This velocity requires an
apron consisting of Class II rip rap at a minimum of 24 feet to prevent scouring of the channel at the
pipe outfall.

411 Briarpatch Lane Maintenance Project October 15, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2001-0160
Gabion drop structures are necessary to decrease the slope of the channel to allow for the use of
C-350 erosion control matting in lieu of rip rap. Without the gabions, the channel slope would be
10% (0.1 ft/ft). This slope results in a calculated shear stress of 9.05 pounds per square foot (psf)
for the 100-year frequency storm event. Standards used to determine the type of erosion control
methods are based on the 100-year frequency storm. C-350 matting has a permissible shear of 6.00
psf and therefore, cannot accommodate the 100-year frequency storm. Gabion drop structures
allow for a decrease in the channel slope from 10% to 1.5% (0.015 ft/ft). The reduced slope results
in a calculated sheer stress of 2.07 psf, which is below the permissible sheer of 6.00 psf for C-350
matting for the 100-year frequency storm. Therefore, gabions are necessary to allow C-350 erosion
control matting to sufficiently stabilize the stream channel.
Proposed impacts will total approximately 530 linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent stream
channel. These impacts are illustrated in Figure 5 - Stream Relocation Plan (Attachment H).
Approximately 355 linear feet of impacts to Stream A will result from channel relocation. These
impacts include the installation of approximately 18 linear feet of gabion drop structures and 64
linear feet of rip rap. Additional impacts will include the installation of 23 linear feet of gabion
drop structures and 56 linear feet of rip rap within the non-relocated portions of Stream A. The
non-relocated segments will also be excavated to restore positive grade and widen the existing
channel. Erosion-control matting will be placed wherever gabion drop structures and rip rap are not
specified. During these activities, impacts to jurisdictional areas will be minimized to the maximum
extent practicable. Table 1 is a summary of the proposed impacts.

10. Describe the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to
alleviate residential flooding vroblems and reduce channel erosion of Stream A. The house
at 411 Briarpatch Lane currently experiences crawlspace and carport flooding during high
flow events because the channel cannot convey the two-year frequency storm. Stream A also
exhibits significant erosion due to high water velocity during storm events. The proposed
improvements are being desianed to accommodate the two-year frequency storm according
to Charlotte Storm Water Services design standards.
11. List the type of equipment to be used to construct the project: A trackhoe -and typical
excavation equipment will be used for this project.

stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
' downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
An alternatives analysis was conducted to determine the least damaging site plan while still
meeting the goals of the project. The revised site plan was designed to utilize erosion-control
matting and gabion drop structures instead of rip rap whenever possible and avoid relocating
33% of the on-site stream channel. See attached report for more detailed discussion.
VIII. Mitigation
' 1. Since activities will impact an Unimportant Intermittent stream channel, no mitigation is
currently being proposed for this project.
' 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
' you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
' NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/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
