Southwest Water Transmission Main - Phase A
Pre-Construction Notification for Nationwide 12 - Courtesy Copy
Utilities Project No. 539-00-042 CDM Project No. 1363-28396-PHASEA.ODC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities proposes to construct a new water transmission main in west
Charlotte. The Southwest Water Transmission Main (Phase A) consists of approximately
28,500 lineal feet of 72-inch and 96-inch pipeline and is needed to reinforce the existing water
distribution system. The water main route begins at the Franklin Water Treatment Plant on
Brookshire Boulevard ends on the north side of the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
The project site consists of mostly residential and light industrial areas along roadways with a
few wooded or undeveloped areas. The pipeline will be installed across one wetland area
and four tributaries of Paw Creek by open-cut construction. The water main will be
constructed across Paw Creek by untrenched, tunneled construction.
Enclosed please find a courtesy copy of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the
project. A permit for this project is requested under Nationwide Permit #12, so it is our
understanding that written approval from DWQ is not required. Please call me at (919) 787-
5620 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

Kelly R. Boone

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.
The water main was desiRned to cross streams at near-perpendicular angles. After
construction, disturbed stream banks will be restored to their original contours. Rip rap will be
placed below the high water mark, and stream banks above the high water mark will be
revegetated with woody plantings.
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/ncwetlands/strmgide.htm].
1. 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.
N/A (but stream banks and wetlands will be restored to existing contours and reve etg ated
upon completion of construction)
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.ne.us/wrD/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):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):

The State Environmental policy Act (G.S. 113A -I through 10) requires that the Division of
Environmental Health determine whether a proposed major agency action will significantly affect the
environment. V. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities project, proposing to install the Southwest Water
Transmission Main, is such a major action. '
In order to determine whether construction of the proposed expansion and improvements will cause
signif cant environmental impacts, an eavizotIment assessment bas been prepared. This environmendal
assessment is attached, It contains detailed information on the key issues, including a brief description of
the proposed project and a summary of probable environmental impacts' None of the impacts were found
to be significant.
On the basis of the analysis of the impacts as shown in the environmental assessment, no
environmental impact statement (EIS) will be prepared. This FONSI completes the environmental review
record which is available for inspection at the State Clearinghouse,
Summary of FONSI for publication in the Environmental Bulletin. After completion of an
environmental assessment under G.S.113A 10,a FONSI has been made in the case of the proposed project.
Information supporting the need for the proposed project was reviewed, along with relative impacts, other
alternative approaches and mitigating measures. •

Re: Project Number 02-0293

Southwest Water'Transmission Main
Dear Ms. McCaskill:
The Centralina Council of Governments submitted Section 1, "Description of Proposed Project" of an
environmental assessment (EA) prepared for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water
Transmission Main Project, and a FONSI statement prepared by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Health dated December 12, 2001. The Mecklenburg County Department of
Environmental Protection ("MCDEP") has reviewed the FONSI. We wish to make the following
comments:
Air Quality
In accordance with MCAPCO Regulation 1.5211 - "Applicability', installation of certain air pollution
emitting equipment (such as generators) may require Air Quality Permits to Construct/Operate.
Construction of this type of equipment was not addressed in the submitted documents.
During construction, precautions must be taken to minimize emissions of dust and odors or any other
emissions that may cause a nuisance to other parties. Any demolition or renovation activities. must
comply with the local building permit requirements and the required NESHAP/Asbestos notification
requirements. Demolition of structures along the route of the water transmission main was not addressed
in the submitted documents.
Refer to applicable air quality regulations related to dust, odorous emissions, nuisances, and
demolition/renovation activities within MCDEP's EA/EIS guidelines document found at
www.co.mecklenburg.nc.us/coenv.
It is recommended that any new construction follow the Energy Star Buildings guidelines. It is also
recommended that any equipment purchased be Energy Star compliant.

Water Quality
Page 2 of 3
Based on a review performed by the Water Quality staff of MCDEP, the proposed construction of the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water Transmission Main will occur in the Lake Wylie
Watershed in Mecklenburg County. This watershed is a protected watershed. MCDEP therefore requests
a strict adherence to the approved Erosion Control Plan for this site and a rigorous inspection program for
all installed Best Management Practices (BMPs). Education of construction crews is also requested in
order to make them aware of the sensitive nature of this project and the need to exercise caution to
prevent the discharge of contaminants to nearby surface waters.
Groundwater
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water Transmission Main project may generate land
clearing and inert debris (LCID) which must be managed in accordance with the North Carolina Solid
Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B, Section .0560 - "Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfills".
Any incidental municipal solid waste such as garbage, tires and household wastes encountered during the
project must be collected and properly disposed of at facilities permitted to receive such wastes.
It also would be prudent to assess the possibility of drinking water well buffer encroachment for
properties adjacent to the new right-of-way. MCDEP recommends the maintenance of a buffer of at least
100 feet for privately-owned wells. If there are any community wells in the area, the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources should be consulted for guidance.
Should you have any questions regarding these continents, please direct them to the members of my
staff who performed the technic4l review. Air Quality comments were made by Laura Cummings
CummiLP@Co. Mecklenburg. NC. US), Water Quality comments were made by Erica L. Shah
(ShahEL@Co. Mecklenburg. NC. US), and Groundwater comments were made by Lisa Corbitt
(CorbiLB@Co. Mecklenburg. NC. US).
