LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project
City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC
USACE Action I.D. #200901062
STV/RWA Project No. 2513745
Dear Ms. Jones:
On behalf of the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), in cooperation with the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA), SN/Ralph Whitehead Associates, Inc. (SN/RWA) is requesting
authorization under a Section 404 Individual Permit for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands and/or waters of the United States associated with the above referenced project. CATS
is proposing the transit improvements in the Northeast Corridor of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
region that includes the LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX
BLE) which would extend the existing LYNX Blue Line from the East 7�h Street terminus,
approximately 9.4 miles to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. CATS has contracted
SN/RWA to be the acting agent and perform wetland-permitting services for this project.
Enclosed, please find a permit request package that includes: an ENG Form 4345 (Attachment
A); Addresses of Adjoining Property Owners (Attachment B); Figures and Permit Drawing Sheets
(Attachment C); Photographs of the jurisdictional features present within the study area
(Attachment D); Agency Correspondence (Attachment E); Alternatives Analysis (Attachment F);
Indirect Cumulative Effects Assessment (Attachment G); and General Construction Sequence
(Attachment H). Additional detailed information regarding the LYNX BLE project can be found in
the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) completed in August 2011 that has been
prepared for the project. The Final EIS has been distributed to the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USCOE) in addition to other Federal, State and local regulatory agencies with
jurisdictional authority over the project.
CATS understands its responsibility in providing all required information to constitute a complete
notification and any compensatory mitigation necessary to comply with the USCOE, Wilmington
Regulatory DistricYs requirements. Furthermore, CATS will ensure compliance with the terms and
conditions of the approved permit. As necessary, CATS will obtain and provide the USCOE with
all appropriate state certifications, including the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401
Water Quality Certification.
A pre-application meeting was held with you and other USCOE representatives and the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) on October 20, 2011 at the CATS offices in
Charlotte. This meeting was attended by CATS, Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services,
the FTA as well as STV/RWA and their subcontractors. The current project scope, permit
application materials, project schedules, project impacts and mitigation were discussed.

Construction activities associated with the proposed project would result in unavoidable
permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including cut and fill impacts to freshwater
wetlands and streams (RPW's). The project would result in impacts to waters of the U.S. totaling
3,312 linear feet of stream and 0.524 acre of wetlands. These impacts are necessary for the
widening of the existing railroad embankment, piping of streams, riprap protection and new
access roadways.
To compensate for wetland impacts, CATS proposes to purchase the required credits from the
USCOE-approved Charlotte Umbrella Bank for impacts to streams in combination with the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) In-Lieu Fee for wetland impacts. A total of
3,312 linear feet of stream mitigation credits will be required for permanent project impacts.
Stream impacts requiring mitigation in the Lower Catawba River Basin will total 3,268 linear feet,
and stream impacts requiring mitigation in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin will total 44 linear
feet. A total of 1.25 acres of wetland mitigation credit will be required for permanent project
impacts. Wetland impacts requiring mitigation in the Lower Catawba River Basin will total 0.754
acre and wetland impacts requiring mitigation in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin will total 0.057
acre. One acre of credit will be purchased from the EEP for impacts in the Lower Catawba River
Basin and 0.25 acre of credit will be purchased from the EEP for impacts in the Yadkin-Pee Dee
River Basin.
STV/RWA, on behalf of CATS, is requesting that the USCOE extend the timeframe for this
requested Individual Permit to a period of time beyond the standard five-year expiration date. Due
to the complexities of the proposed LYNX BLE, it is possible that unanticipated delays may occur
that would affect the project schedule. CATS is requesting an Individual Permit that is valid for ten
years to prevent any additional issues and delays if the project schedule were to be extended
beyond the currently planned completion of 2016. On behalf of CATS, we hereby request that this
project be authorized under an Individual Permit.
Sincerely,
STV/ LPH WHITEHEAD ASSOCIATES

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
1.0 Proposed Project Background and Description
The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) proposes to extend the existing LYNX Light Rail
service from its terminal station at the 7th Street Station to the northeast to the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) campus. This project is located within the City of Charlotte
and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. CATS and the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) are the
joint lead agencies for the project, which is currently in the 65% design phase of project
development. CATS is seeking federal funding through the FTA's discretionary Section 5309 New
Starts grant program (49 USC§5309). A Notice of Intent to conduct an Alternatives Analysis and
to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was published in the Federal Register on
September 29, 2000. The Final EIS for the project has been completed and the Final EIS was
published by the FTA in August 2011 and has been distributed to the regulatory agencies
including the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ).
The proposed project would extend the existing LYNX Blue Line light rail system by
approximately 9.4 miles and provide 11 transit stations, including seven walk-up stations and four
stations with park-and-ride facilities, as well as a feeder bus system to support the light rail
system. The proposed alignment would begin at the LYNX 7th Street Station and travel along
CATS-owned right-of-way until approximately 12th Street where it would cross over the CSX rail
tracks and then enter the existing Norfolk Southern and North Carolina Railroad (railroad) rights-
of-way to the middle of the alignment, near Old Concord Road, where it would then transition into
the median of North Tryon Street/US-29. The line would remain in the median until approximately
1,000 feet north of the existing entrance to UNC Charlotte's Charlotte Research Institute, where it
would enter the campus crossing under the existing travel lanes of North Tryon Street/US-29. The
proposed project would terminate at the UNC Charlotte Station (Attachment C- Figure 1).
The project would be designed to accommodate two light rail tracks, one for northbound service
and one for southbound service. In general, the tracks would be located at-grade. Some portions
would be elevated to go over existing freight tracks, water features or roads. The proposed LYNX
Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX BLE) would include the
depression of 36th Street under the existing railroad freight tracks and the proposed light rail
tracks. A depression of the light rail tracks under the existing northbound travel lanes of North
Tryon Street/US-29 would also occur where the alignment turns southeast to enter the UNC
Charlotte campus. Sugar Creek Road would be depressed under or carried over the existing
railroad tracks as planned and undertaken as a separate project by the North Carolina Railroad
(NCRR) and North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Rail. At this time, it is
anticipated that the proposed LYNX BLE Project would be at existing grade with Sugar Creek
Road elevated. CATS, NCRR and NCDOT Rail have agreed on the layout of the tracks to
accommodate existing freight, passenger rail, and new tracks for the LYNX BLE, as well as future
high speed rail. As part of the development of the lease agreement to operate light rail in the
NCRR corridor, CATS was required to consider the ultimate cross-section. This cross-section
required the separation between freight and light rail, and also determined the location of the light
rail tracks. Due to safety considerations for the customers using the transit system, the light rail
tracks are placed on the outer edge of the existing corridor. The proposed LYNX BLE Project and
future high speed rail are independent, separate and complete projects. The timing of the high
speed rail is unknown at this time.

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
Additionally, a multi-use path would be constructed between Sugar Creek Road and the Old
Concord Road Station to allow safe pedestrian and bicycle access along this portion of the
alignment. The approximate 1.2-mile multi-use path was initially proposed in April 2011, as a
result of the City's Northeast Corridor Bicycle Vision Study. Based on current conceptual design,
the multi-use side path would be constructed parallel to the light rail between the Sugar Creek
and Old Concord Road Stations. The path would facilitate bicycle and pedestrian connectivity to
the light rail stations and maintenance access by providing a direct connection between stations.
The 12' to 14' wide path would include a full paved section, or incorporate a shoulder with a grass
strip or fence depending on the surrounding constraints and drainage issues. A fence would be
constructed along the entire section separating the light rail tracks and the multi-use path. The
multi-use path follows, for a majority of the corridor, the grade of the proposed LYNX BLE. It is
further anticipated that the majority of the multi-use path would be designed within the right-of-
way for the LYNX BLE.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final EIS was
signed on December 5, 2011 and has been posted for public review on the CATS website at
http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/cats/planning/BLE/Pages/FEIS.aspx. Publication of the ROD in
the Federal Register is pending. CATS anticipates that it will receive approval to enter final design
in May of 2012, and the design will be refined through May of 2014. The construction of the LYNX
BLE is scheduled to begin in September of 2013 and is expected to continue into September of
2016. It is anticipated that the LYNX BLE will be constructed in three segments concurrently.
CATS anticipates that the LYNX BLE will be operating and collecting revenue by late 2016 or
early 2017.
2.0 Proposed Project Location
The proposed LYNX BLE is located entirely within the Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont
Physiographic Province of North Carolina, which is characterized by broad, gently rolling
interstream areas and by steeper slopes along drainageways. Based on topographic mapping
(Attachment C— Figures 2-A through 2-F), elevations in the study area range from approximately
580 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to 800 feet NGVD. The highest
elevations in the study area are located along North Tryon Street/US-29 east of the proposed Old
Concord Road Station. The lowest elevations in the study area are located at the proposed
crossing at Toby Creek.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), the study area contains four interspersed general soil types: Cecil, Cecil-Urban, Wilkes-
Enon and Monacan, with small pockets of other soil types, such as Mecklenburg, Pacolet and
Helena (Attachment C— Figures 3-A through 3-G). These soils formed in residuum from acid
igneous and metamorphic rock.
Cecil soils are gently sloping to strongly sloping, well-drained upland soils that have a clay loam
surface layer and predominantly clayey subsoil. Historical uses for this soil group include
cropland or pasture. The woodland potential productivity is listed as moderate with clay being the
major limitation. These soils are generally found in the central portion of the study area.
Cecil-Urban soils are found in nearly level to strongly sloping urban areas. These soils are well-
drained upland soils that have a clay loam surface layer and clayey or predominantly clayey
subsoil. These soils are used almost entirely for urban development and do not have a woodland
rating. This mapped soil unit is generally found in the southern portion of the study area.
December 2011 Page 2 Rev. 00

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
Wilkes-Enon soils are gently sloping to steep, well-drained soils that have predominantly clayey
subsoil. These soils formed in residuum from diorite, hornblende schist and other basic rock, or
from mixed acidic and basic rock. These soils are used mainly as pasture and woodland. Erosion,
slope and the depth to bedrock are the main limitations. The woodland potential productivity is
listed as moderate. This mapped soil unit is generally found in the northern portion of the study
area.
Monacan soils are nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soils that have a sandy loam surface
layer and clayey or loamy subsoil formed in fluvial sediment on floodplains. Historical uses for this
soil group include cropland or pasture. The woodland potential productivity is listed as very high
with clay being the major limitation. This soil type is on the hydric soils list for the County because
of hydric inclusions of Wehadkee undrained soils. These soils are generally found in the northern
portion of the study area in the Toby Creek floodplain.
Helena soils are moderately well-drained soils on broad ridges, gentle side slopes and in
depressions and low areas around the heads of drainageways. The surface layer is light olive
brown sandy loam. These soils have a low potential for most urban uses and moderate-to-high
potential for woodland and crops. This soil type is on the hydric soils list for Mecklenburg County
because of hydric inclusions of Wehadkee undrained soils and Worsham undrained soils. These
soils are generally found in the area of the Sugar Creek Station proposed park-and-ride lot, the
Old Concord Road Station proposed park-and-ride lot and along the railroad right-of-way between
the Sugar Creek Station proposed park-and-ride lot and the Old Concord Road Station proposed
park-and-ride lot.
Mecklenburg soils are nearly level to strongly sloping, moderately well-drained and well-drained
soils that have predominantly clayey subsoil. The surface layer is dark reddish brown fine sandy
loam and the subsoil is yellowish red clay. Mecklenburg soils are mainly used as cropland and
pasture with erosion and wetness being the main limitations for farming. This unit has a moderate
potential for woodland. These soils are generally found in areas along the railroad right-of-way
between the Sugar Creek Station proposed park-and-ride lot and the Old Concord Road Station
proposed park-and-ride lot.
Pacolet soils are gently sloping to steep, well-drained soils that have predominantly clayey
subsoil. The moderately steep to steep Pacolet soils are adjacent to drainageways. The surface
layer is very dark grayish brown sandy loam and the subsoil is red clay or clay loam. Pacolet soils
are mostly in the forest. Erosion and slope are the main limitations to development. These soils
are generally found south of and adjacent to the study area near the northern and southern
termini of the project corridor, respectively.
Wilkes soils are gently sloping to steep, well-drained upland soils that have a loamy surface layer
and clayey subsoil. Historical uses for this soil group include woodland or pasture. The woodland
potential productivity is listed as moderate, with insignificant limitations or restrictions. These soils
are generally found in the area of the UNC Charlotte campus.
3.0 Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed LYNX BLE is to ensure future mobility by providing a transportation
alternative in a highly congested travel corridor and to support the region's land use policies and
goals for a sustainable growth and development pattern. The proposed project would provide
high-capacity, fixed guideway transit service in the corridor. This new service would offer a
convenient, time-competitive travel alternative and reduce dependence on single-occupant

Blue Line
Extension
automobiles. As an extension of the LYNX Blue Line, the proposed project would enhance the
operating effectiveness of CATS' light rail service and leverage the public investment already
made in the South Corridor.
The proposed project would also support the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework
(August 2010) for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region. As envisioned in the region's combined
transit and land use plans, future development would be focused into areas that can support new
development or are in need of redevelopment and away from areas that cannot support new
growth. The highest density development would be encouraged around light rail stations. By
focusing future growth in corridors with multiple travel alternatives, the region would be able to
grow in a manner that promotes continued access and mobility and that enhances the quality of
life for residents and employees.
Specifically, the land use and environmental goals and objectives of the project reflect the
regional and corridor needs and are based on the principles developed for the integrated transit
and land use plans. The project goals and objectives are detailed in Table 1.

The City of Charlotte, North Carolina is at the heart of the rapidly growing Charlotte-Mecklenburg
region, which boasts one of the most robust economies in the United States. Charlotte serves as
the commercial capital of the Carolinas and has become one of the nation's largest banking
centers. With its reputation as an excellent place to live and do business, the region is thriving.
The last several decades have seen record increases in population and employment, both in
Center City Charlotte and in outlying activity centers.
A large amount of growth is anticipated for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region in the next 25 years.
Much of the past growth has occurred in a dispersed pattern of jobs and residences with limited
connectivity between uses. If future growth follows past development trends, area residents will
continue to be dependent on the automobile for their travel needs, and peak period congestion
will worsen. This congestion presents a significant threat to mobility, air quality, public safety,
economic vitality and the overall quality of life in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region.
Several major roadways and intersections in the Northeast Corridor currently experience peak
hour volumes that exceed capacity, including North Tryon Street/US-29, W.T. Harris Boulevard,
Sugar Creek Road, Mallard Creek Church Road and University City Blvd./NC-49. Despite
widening projects and intersection improvements that are planned or programmed for most of
these roadways, peak period congestion is projected to increase significantly.
The Northeast Corridor is a heavily traveled transit route, as it provides a vital connection
between Center City Charlotte and the University City area. The route along North Tryon
Street/US-29 also provides an alternative to travel on Interstate 85 (I-85) between these two
activity centers. As of January 2009, there were 16 bus routes operating in the Northeast
Corridor, including local bus routes, UNC Charlotte shuttle routes, neighborhood circulator routes
and express bus routes. However, existing transit services must operate in mixed traffic on
congested roads. This congestion often causes delays to transit service and results in longer
transit travel times that cannot provide a time-competitive alternative to auto use. As such, these
conditions limit the probability that people with a choice would use transit rather than driving
alone.
Recognizing the consequences of uncontrolled growth to the region's attractiveness as a place to
live and do business, decision-makers initiated efforts to coordinate land use and transportation
planning, and encourage growth in a way that will enhance regional mobility. The City of Charlotte
and Mecklenburg County adopted the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan (1994) and the
updated Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework (August 2010) to build on the
region's existing framework of centers and corridors, focusing future development in these areas
and preserving lower density development and open space between corridors. Additional detailed
discussion on the Purpose and Need of the proposed LYNX BLE is presented in Chapter 1.0:
Purpose and Need of the Final EIS prepared for the project.
4.0 Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Field reviews and wetland delineations of the proposed study area, including proposed stations
and park-and-ride facility locations, were conducted from September 2008 through February
2009. Additional field reviews for areas added to the project were conducted on June 6, July 21
and 28, October 1, and November 5, 2009. The results of the on-site field review conducted by
STV/RWA environmental scientists indicate that there are 14 jurisdictional streams and nine
jurisdictional wetland areas located within the study area. Representative photographs of these
jurisdictional features are included in Attachment D. Jurisdictional wetland boundaries and other
waters of the U.S., including streams and open waters, were delineated and flagged in the field

with blue and white striped surveyors tape. The boundaries were approximated with a Trimble
GeoXT hand-held GPS unit capable of submeter accuracy and mapped using ArcGIS 9.1
software. Each stream and wetland feature located within the study area is described in the
following subsections. All jurisdictional stream and wetland area boundaries have been verified by
the USCOE (Action I.D. 200901062). The USCOE Notification of Jurisdictional Determination is
included in Attachment E— Agency Correspondence.
Drainages were evaluated to determine whether these potential jurisdictional features were
Relatively Permanent Waters (RPW, i.e., perennial streams), seasonal RPW's (i.e., intermittent
streams), or non-jurisdictional ephemeral, i.e., seasonal or stormwater channels, as defined by
the USCOE and NCDWQ guidelines. Stream jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional determinations,
as well as the hydrologic classification were field-verified by the USCOE and NCDWQ on July 21,
2009. Subsequent to this agency field review the USCOE issued a Notification of Jurisdictional
Determination dated October 21, 2009. Additional properties were added to the study area as a
result of proposed project refinements after the Jurisdictional Determination was issued including
additional properties at the University City Boulevard (Blvd.) Station. An additional jurisdictional
feature was subsequently delineated and this information was transmitted to the USCOE on
November 6, 2009. The amended Jurisdictional Determination including the additional
jurisdictional feature was issued on November 24, 2009 (Attachment E— Agency
Correspondence).
Potential wetland communities were first identified by reviewing National Wetlands Inventory
(NWI) maps and hydric soil lists for the study area and then by conducting field visits to verify the
presence/absence of a wetland. Jurisdictional wetland delineations were performed. Jurisdictional
wetlands are defined in the field as areas that exhibit positive evidence of three environmental
parameters: hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology and hydric soils. Boundaries of the
wetlands were determined through observations of vegetation and surficial hydrology, as well as
soil samples. Soil samples were taken where hydrology and vegetation indicated the potential
presence of a wetland. Soil samples were evaluated using a shovel to a depth of approximately
16 inches. Soils were compared to a Munsell Color chart (1994) to evaluate chroma values and to
note the presence of mottling and oxidized root channels, which indicate the presence of hydric
soils.
4.1 Jurisdictional Streams
Fourteen stream channels are located within the project corridor. Six of the streams are classified
as perennial RPW's, one stream included both seasonal RPW (intermittent hydrology) and RPW
(perennial hydrology) reaches, and seven are classified as seasonal RPW's (intermittent
hydrology) according to the NCDWQ Stream Identification Forms and regulatory field review.
The proposed project corridor is located in two drainage basins, the Catawba and Yadkin-Pee
Dee River Basins. The southern portion of the study area (i.e., the portion of the project corridor
located south of Eastway Drive) is located within the Lower Catawba portion of the Catawba
River drainage basin, which is referred to as the Santee River Basin by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS). The northern portion of the study area is located within the Rocky River portion
of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River drainage basin, which is referred to as the Upper Pee Dee River
Basin by the USGS. Major streams in the southern half of the project region (Upper Little Sugar
Creek and Briar Creek in the Catawba River Basin) generally flow in a southerly direction, while
streams in the northern half of the project region (tributaries to Mallard Creek in the Rocky River
portion of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin) generally flow in a northeasterly direction. The eight-
digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC 8) for the lower Catawba Watershed is 03050103 and the HUC
8 for the Rocky River Watershed is 03040105.

Little Sugar Creek Watershed, Catawba River Basin. Stream N begins on the south side of the
railroad right-of-way as a detention pond, and flows for approximately 77 linear feet north though
a pipe culvert that is located under the railroad right-of-way to Linear Wetland Y(Attachment D—
Photograph 6). The primary function of seasonal RPW Stream N is to convey stormwater.
Stream A(Attachment C- Figure 7) is both a perennial RPW and seasonal RPW with intermittent
hydrology and unnamed tributary to Stream F located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. Intermittent Stream A begins at a pipe culvert that is located under North
Davidson Street and flows for approximately 791 linear feet as a seasonal RPW with intermittent
hydrology to the west, north of and parallel to North Davidson Street as a tributary to the
perennial RPW portion of Stream A. At this point, perennial RPW Stream A flows north for
approximately 218 feet through a pipe culvert under the railroad right-of-way and continues
flowing north and west to RPW Stream F(Attachment D— Photographs 7, 8 and 9). Wetland A is
located on both sides of the intermittent portion of seasonal RPW Stream A.
Stream B(Attachment C- Figure 8) is a seasonal RPW with intermittent hydrology located in the

concrete flume, the intermittent east branch of seasonal RPW Stream B flows northwest for
approximately 122 linear feet to join the non-jurisdictional ephemeral west branch of Stream B
and drains through a pipe culvert north, under the railroad right-of-way (Attachment D—
Photographs 10 and 11). The primary function of seasonal RPW Stream B is to convey
stormwater.
Stream P(Attachment C- Figure 8) is a seasonal RPW with intermittent hydrology. The two west
branches of seasonal RPW Stream P begin at drainage ditches that are located in the back of
Raleigh Street industrial facilities on the north side of the railroad right-of way. The drainage
ditches flow east, parallel to each other, on either side of a railroad spur, north of and parallel to
the railroad right-of-way. The east branch of seasonal RPW Stream P begins from a pipe culvert
discharging from a Leafmore Drive residential property. The east branch of seasonal RPW
Stream P flows west to join the west branch at a pipe culvert that is the low point in this drainage
feature that totals approximately 1,666 linear feet (Attachment D— Photograph 12). The primary
function of seasonal RPW Stream P is to convey stormwater.
Stream Z(Attachment C- Figure 9) is a seasonal RPW with intermittent hydrology and unnamed
tributary to Briar Creek located in the Briar Creek Watershed, Catawba River Basin. Seasonal
RPW Stream Z begins as two non-jurisdictional ephemeral drainage ditches on the northwest
side of the railroad right-of-way. The non-jurisdictional ephemeral west branch begins as a
drainage ditch adjacent to the railroad right-of-way and the non-jurisdictional ephemeral east
branch begins at a pipe culvert that is located south of the Old Concord Road Station. The two
non-jurisdictional ephemeral branches join and discharge to the south, under the railroad right-of-
way through a concrete box culvert that flows as seasonal RPW Stream Z for approximately 84
linear feet to the south (Attachment D— Photographs 13 and 14).
Stream E(Attachment C- Figure 10) is a seasonal RPW with intermittent hydrology and
unnamed tributary to Briar Creek located in the Briar Creek Watershed, Catawba River Basin.
The drainage to Seasonal RPW Stream E begins at a pipe culvert that is located under Old
Concord Road and flows as a non-jurisdictional ephemeral drainage channel to the south through
the proposed Old Concord Road Station park-and-ride lot. Seasonal RPW Stream E then
changes to a stream with intermittent hydrology near Wetland E and flows for approximately 577
linear feet to the south to the railroad right-of-way (Attachment D— Photograph 15).
Stream X(Attachment C- Figure 11) is a seasonal RPW with intermittent hydrology and
unnamed tributary to Doby Creek located in the Mallard Creek Watershed, Yadkin-Pee Dee River
Basin. Seasonal RPW Stream X begins within the wooded area of the western portion of the
proposed University City Blvd. Station park-and-ride lot, and flows as an intermittent stream for
approximately 622 linear feet northwest through Wetland X and under Ikea Road to Doby Creek.
Stream U(Toby Creek) is a perennial RPW tributary to Mallard Creek located in the Mallard
Creek Watershed, Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin (Attachment C- Figure 12). RPW Stream U flows

4.2 Jurisdictional Wetland Areas
Linear Wetland C(approximately 0.02 acre) is a small, palustrine emergent wetland located west
of, adjacent to, and parallel to, the railroad right-of-way south of East 16th Street (Attachment C-
Figure 4). This wetland is located within a drainage swale that discharges stormwater from East

Blue Line
Extension
16th Street. The wetland is dominated by herbaceous species that include soft rush (Juncus
effusus), broom sedge (Andropogon virginicus) and various grasses. This linear wetland drains
into a concrete lined stormwater flume and into a pipe culvert that discharges to Stream D, which
in turn drains to Stream C(Attachment D— Photograph 17).
Linear Wetland Y(approximately 0.14 acre) is a palustrine forested wetland located north of the
railroad right-of-way and west of East 36th Street. This wetland is located in a drainage swale
between the railroad right-of-way and the commercial industrial buildings located on Cullman
Avenue (Attachment C- Figure 6). The wetland is dominated by an overstory of willow (Salix sp.),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and red maple (Acer rubrum). Understory shrub species
were dominated by Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), and
American holly (Ilex opaca). Herbaceous species included Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica) (Attachment D — Photograph 18).
Linear Wetland A(approximately 0.012 acre) is a small, palustrine forested wetland located north
of the railroad right-of-way and west of E. Craighead Road. This wetland is located in a drainage
swale between the railroad right-of-way and the commercial industrial buildings located on E.
Craighead Road (Attachment C- Figure 7). The wetland is dominated by an overstory of
sweetgum and red maple. Understory shrub species were dominated by silky dogwood and
blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis). Herbaceous species included Japanese honeysuckle.
Wetland A(approximately 0.22 acre) is a small, palustrine scrub-shrub/emergent wetland located
on either side of intermittent Stream A, located north of N. Davidson Street. This narrow wetland
is approximately three feet wide (including seasonal RPW Stream A) located in a drainage swale
between the railroad right-of-way and N. Davidson Street and was created as a mitigation
wetland for a N. Davidson Street drainage improvement project (Attachment C- Figure 7). The
wetland is dominated by a shrub layer of willow and silky dogwood. Herbaceous species included
cattail (Typha latifolia) and soft rush (Attachment D— Photograph 9).
Isolated Wetland P(approximately 0.02 acre) is a small, isolated, palustrine open water/emergent
wetland located adjacent to and west of the railroad right-of-way in the backyard of a residential
dwelling located at the end of Leafmore Drive. This isolated wetland may be the result of a former
excavation and does not possess a significant nexus to other waters of the U.S. Wetland P may
have a subsurface connection to Stream P, which is located approximately 25 feet to the
northwest (Attachment C- Figure 8). The wetland is primarily an open water system, but has
herbaceous emergent vegetation such as sedges (Carex spp.) and woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus)
in the eastern portion (Attachment D— Photograph 19). This wetland does not appear to be
directly associated with any stream system, and thus, is considered hydrologically isolated and is
not considered jurisdictional by the USCOE. Based on discussions during the pre-application
meeting, the NCDWQ will exert jurisdiction over this wetland pursuant to the State's Isolated
Wetlands Rules.
Isolated Wetland O(approximately 0.16 acre) is an isolated, palustrine forested wetland located
behind the Northpark Mall, west of the railroad right-of-way (Attachment C- Figure 9). This
wetland is located at the terminus of a stormwater culvert and concrete flume that conveys
stormwater away from the Northpark Mall parking lot into what appears to have been a former
detention basin that has not been maintained and does not possess a significant nexus to other
waters of the U.S. since there is no apparent outlet. The overstory of this wetland is dominated by
American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), sweetgum, and river birch (Betula nigra). Understory
species include saplings of the aforementioned tree species, as well as red maple and
blackberry. Herbaceous groundcover consisted of uptight sedge (Carex stricta), soft rush and

Blue Line
Extension
various other sedges. Vines of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and greenbriar (Smilax
rotundifolia) were also abundant (Attachment D— Photographs 20 and 21). This wetland does not
appear to be directly associated with any stream system, and thus, is considered hydrologically
isolated and is not considered jurisdictional by the USCOE. Based on discussions during the pre-
application meeting, the NCDWQ will exert jurisdiction over this wetland pursuant to the State's
Isolated Wetlands Rules.
Wetland E(approximately 0.06 acre) is a small, palustrine forested wetland located at the Old
Concord Road Station proposed park-and-ride lot in a wooded area adjacent to a kudzu (Pueraria
montana var. lobata) monoculture (Attachment C- Figure 10). This wetland had the presence of
standing water from a groundwater seep. Vegetation within the wetland consisted of red maple
and sweetgum in the overstory. Understory vegetation included American hornbeam (Carpinus
caroliniana) and elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). Herbaceous species included arrowhead
(Sagittaria latifolia) and kudzu. This wetland is directly abutting Stream E(Attachment D—
Photograph 22).
Wetland X(approximately 0.36 acre) is a palustrine forested wetland located at the University
City Blvd. Station park-and-ride deck at the downstream end of Stream X(Attachment C- Figure
11). Wetland X ends at a headwall and pipe culvert that was recently built for the IKEA access
road. Vegetation within the wetland consisted of red maple and sweetgum in the overstory.
Understory vegetation included red maple and sweetgum saplings. Herbaceous species include
jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), sedge and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). This wetland is
directly associated with Stream X.
Isolated Wetland R(approximately 0.07 acre) is a small, isolated, palustrine forested wetland
located on the UNC Charlotte campus, west of the proposed UNC Charlotte Station and east of
Toby Creek (Attachment C- Figure 12). This wetland is located at the terminus of a stormwater
drainageway that is located parallel to Cameron Boulevard. The wetland is dominated by an
overstory of sweetgum and red maple with an understory of American hornbeam and Chinese
privet. Stormwater is discharged from a culvert located adjacent to Cameron Boulevard and
drains west through a sloped, upland area that is forested. The wetland is located at the bottom of
the slope, east of and adjacent to the UNC Charlotte running trail/sanitary sewer line that parallels
Toby Creek. The construction of the running trail/sanitary sewer line has created a berm that
impedes the drainage of the stormwater to Toby Creek. The accumulation of this stormwater has
created the wetland conditions in this area. Isolated Wetland R appears to be fed by rainwater
and surface water run-off. This wetland does not appear to possess a significant nexus to other
waters of the U.S. so is not directly associated with any stream system. Thus, Wetland R is
considered hydrologically isolated and is not considered jurisdictional by the USCOE. Based on
discussions during the pre-application meeting, the NCDWQ will exert jurisdiction over this
wetland pursuant to the State's Isolated Wetlands Rules. The wetland is located adjacent to the
proposed alignment.
5.0 Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Multiple jurisdictional features along the proposed 9.4 mile alignment will be impacted by the
construction of the LYNX BLE. Figures have been prepared depicting the jurisdictional areas to be
impacted and a key map of these impact figures is located in Attachment C— Figure 13. All work to
be done in jurisdictional waters shall be performed after sediment and erosion control measures
have been put into place and after the hydrology has been rerouted in order to work in the dry.
Measures will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from
coming into contact with waters of the U.S. until the concrete has hardened. New pipe culverts

shall be partially buried as per the NCDWQ Section 401 water quality certification requirements,
except in cases where existing at-grade culverts are to be extended. Activities on the project site
involving impacts to waters of the U.S. will be required to follow the conditions of the Individual
Permit, and applicable State consistency conditions.
STV/RWA Senior Environmental Specialist Brandon Phillips, C.H.M.M. has received training in, and
has been certified in the use of the N.C. Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM). NC WAM was
created by an interagency team of federal and state agency staff to develop an accurate, consistent,
and rapid method to determine the level of function of a wetland relative to a reference condition for
each of 16 North Carolina general wetland types. The NC WAM wetland types have been presented
for the wetland areas that will be impacted by the LYNX BLE.
Stream C is an unnamed tributary to Little Sugar Creek located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed
Catawba River Basin. Stream C will need to be piped, extending from the existing pipe culvert, in
order to widen the railroad right-of-way embankment for the proposed LYNX BLE Project. A riprap
stilling basin would be placed in Stream C at the discharge point for the extended pipe and will
impact approximately 80 linear feet of Stream C. Riprap will be countersunk into the stream bed.
Riprap shall be clean and free from loose dirt or pollutant. An existing sewer line will be re-routed
across Stream C and will have additional impacts to an estimated 32 linear feet of Stream C. The
feasibility of an aerial sewer crossing at this location will be evaluated during final design in an effort
to avoid impacts associated with this sewer crossing. A total of approximately 112 linear feet (0.062
acre) of impact in this location is anticipated (Attachment C— Figure 14). An estimated 150 cubic
yards (Cl� of riprap, 25 CY of soil, 20 CY of concrete and 5 CY of steel will be discharged into
Stream C based on 65% design plans.
Stream D is an unnamed tributary to Stream C located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. Approximately all 396 linear feet (0.135 acre) of Stream D would be filled to
enlarge the existing rail embankment and Stream D will be relocated to the toe of the
embankment as a drainage channel that would be created for the proposed LYNX BLE Project to
provide the same drainage function as Stream D(Attachment C— Figure 14). An estimated 575 CY
of soil will be discharged into Stream D based on 65% design plans.
Stream F is a stream (Little Sugar Creek) located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed, Catawba
River Basin. Stream F flows from north to south, across the proposed LYNX BLE Project
alignment and under North Brevard Street. Stream F would be bridged for the LYNX BLE Project
and no direct impacts to Stream F would result (Attachment C— Figure 15).
Stream J is an unnamed tributary to Stream F located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. The entire estimated 103 linear feet (0.031 acre) of Stream J located within
the project corridor would be piped/filled for the construction of a new access to the Duke Energy
substation (Attachment C— Figure 16). An estimated 330 CY of soil will be discharged into Stream J
based on 65% design plans.
Stream K is an unnamed tributary to Stream F located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. Pipe replacement and the subsequent addition of a riprap apron would
disturb approximately 44 linear feet (0.006 acre) of Stream K(Attachment C— Figure 16). An
estimated 30 CY of riprap will be discharged into Stream K based on 65% design plans.
Stream N is a stormwater drainage feature located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed, Catawba
River Basin. Approximately 56 linear feet (0.016 acre) of Stream N would be piped/filled by the

embankment created for the proposed LYNX BLE Project (Attachment C— Figure 17). An
estimated 70 CY of soil will be discharged into Stream N based on 65% design plans.
Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Stream F located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. Approximately 100 linear feet (0.053 acre) of RPW Stream A would be
piped or channelized by the embankment created for the relocated freight tracks associated with
the proposed light rail alignment. Seasonal RPW Stream A is located parallel to North Davidson
Street in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed, Catawba River Basin. Seasonal RPW Stream A
drains to RPW Stream A on the south side of the railroad right-of-way. 791 linear feet (0.018
acre) of seasonal RPW Stream A would be enclosed within a box culvert to raise the alignment to
the planned elevation (Attachment C— Figure 18). An estimated 65 CY of riprap, 170 CY of soil, and
160 CY of concrete will be discharged into Stream A based on 65% design plans.
Stream B is a stormwater drainage channel located in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed,
Catawba River Basin. Stream B would be avoided by the proposed LYNX BLE Project, which
would stay on the north side of the railroad right-of-way (Attachment C— Figure 19).
Stream P is a stormwater drainage channel/basin. The entire estimated 1,666 linear feet (0.11
acre) of Stream P would be piped/filled for the new rail embankment and the proposed multi-use
path (Attachment C— Figure 19). An estimated 1800 CY of soil will be discharged into Stream P
based on 65% design plans.
Stream Z is an unnamed tributary to Briar Creek located in the Briar Creek Watershed, Catawba
River Basin. Pipe replacement and the subsequent addition of a riprap apron will create fill
impacts to Stream Z totaling approximately 44 linear feet (0.007 acre) (Attachment C— Figure 20).
Riprap will be countersunk into the stream bed and will be placed over filter cloth. Riprap shall be
clean and free from loose dirt or pollutant. An estimated 35 CY of soil will be discharged into
Stream Z based on 65% design plans.
Stream E is an unnamed tributary to Briar Creek with non-jurisdictional ephemeral tributaries
located in the Briar Creek Watershed, Catawba River Basin. Impacts to Stream E would be
avoided by the proposed Old Concord Road Station park-and-ride lot that would be constructed
for the proposed LYNX BLE Project (Attachment C— Figure 21).
Stream X is an unnamed tributary to Doby Creek located in the Mallard Creek Watershed,
Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin. Impacts to Stream X would be avoided by the proposed University
City Blvd. Station park-and-ride lot that would be constructed for the proposed LYNX BLE Project.
Stream U(Toby Creek) is a tributary to Mallard Creek located in the Mallard Creek Watershed,
Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin. Stream U would be bridged for the LYNX BLE Project and no direct
impacts to Stream U would result (Attachment C— Figure 22).
Linear Wetland C(approximately 0.07 acre) is a small, linear palustrine emergent wetland located
west of, adjacent to, and parallel to, the railroad right-of-way south of East 16th Street. Based on
65% Preliminary Engineering Design Plans, it is anticipated that no part of Linear Wetland C
would be directly impacted by the proposed project.
Linear Wetland Y(approximately 0.142 acre) is a linear palustrine forested wetland (NC WAM =
Basin) located north of the railroad right-of-way and west of East 36th Street. The entire
estimated 0.142 acre of Linear Wetland Y would be filled by the construction of an embankment

WAM = Headwater forest) located south of the railroad right-of-way and north of N. Davidson
Street on either side of seasonal RPW Stream A. The entire estimated 0.223 acre of Wetland A
and seasonal RPW Stream A would be enclosed within a box culvert to raise the alignment to the
planned elevation without disrupting the existing drainage pattern (Attachment C— Figure 18). An
estimated 1,100 CY of soil will be discharged into Wetland A based on 65% design plans.
Linear Wetland A is a small (approximately 0.012 acre) palustrine forested wetland (NC WAM =
Basin) located north of the railroad right-of-way and west of Craighead Road. It is anticipated that
approximately all 0.012 acre of Linear Wetland A would be filled by the planned relocation of the
existing railroad spur (Attachment C— Figure 18). An estimated 190 CY of soil will be discharged
into Linear Wetland A based on 65% design plans.
Isolated Wetland P(approximately 0.02 acre) is a small, isolated, palustrine open water/emergent
wetland (NC WAM = Basin) located adjacent to and west of the railroad right-of-way in the
backyard of a residential dwelling located at the end of Leafmore Drive. It is anticipated that all

General Construction Sequence
As outlined on the plans created for the LYNX BLE, the construction contractor shall follow the
phasing as described in Attachment H: General Construction Sequence. Construction phases
may be performed concurrently, except where noted. All work described in the project phasing
shall be performed by the contractor, except where it is specified for certain work to be performed
by others. The construction sequencing descriptions refer to the entire project and are not limited
to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S. No construction access or staging in waters of the U.S. is
proposed. Construction fencing will be used to prevent people and equipment from accidentally
entering jurisdictional areas that have not been permitted for impacts.
6.0 Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation
In an effort to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional stream crossings and wetlands,
measures and strategies have been considered and utilized throughout the project planning
process. These strategies and reduction measures include the following:
December 2011 Page 14 Rev. 00

Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream C will result from the extension of the existing culvert located
under the existing railway embankment that will require widening to accommodate the additional
rail tracks. Since the alignment has been placed between the existing townhomes and existing
freight railroad tracks, no other feasible alternatives exist to avoid this impact. Impacts from the
proposed riprap stilling basin have been minimized to the greatest extent possible by reducing the
size of the riprap lining to the minimum required to prevent erosion. The relocation of the existing
sanitary sewer line impacting 32 linear feet of Perennial RPW Stream C may be performed by an
aerial crossing to avoid additional impacts and will be evaluated further during final design.
No impacts to Linear Wetland C are anticipated.
Impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream D will result from the widening of the existing railway
embankment. Since the alignment has been placed between the existing townhomes and existing
freight railroad tracks, no other feasible alternatives exist to avoid this impact. The stream
channel will be relocated to the toe of the proposed widened embankment incorporating natural
stream channel design elements.
Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream F will be avoided through the construction of a 3-span
concrete bridge over the stream channel. The piers for the proposed bridge will be placed outside
of the top of banks to ensure that no impacts will occur to this stream. Preliminary floodplain
modeling has been conducted to determine the potential impacts to flood levels resulting from the
construction of the proposed bridge. It is anticipated that there will be no impact to the area flood
elevations. A"No-Rise" certification application will be submitted to the Mecklenburg Floodplain
Administrator after the final design has been completed.
Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream J and Perennial RPW Stream K will result from the piping of
these streams that is required due to the relocation of the existing Duke Power substation. Since
the proposed light rail alignment would be located where the existing entrance is located, the new
access road would go under the light rail bridge to provide an entrance to the electrical substation
from the west side. Alternative alignments for the relocation of this substation access road were
reviewed in an effort to avoid impacts. In order to avoid impacts to these streams, an additional
at-grade crossing of the rail line would be required. An additional at-grade crossing would create
major safety concerns in addition to increased costs, so the consideration of this alternative to
avoid Perennial RPW Stream J and Perennial RPW Stream K was rejected. An additional design
requirement for the size of the turning radius on the Duke Power access roadway to
accommodate the large tractor-trailer vehicles that will be using the road necessitates the impacts
to these streams.
Impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream N will result from the extension of the existing pipes under the
rail line and the relocation of the Norfolk Southern freight tracks. The relocation of the proposed
alignment to avoid and minimize impacts would result in impacts to nearby historic buildings and
so has been rejected as a minimization and avoidance alternative. Previous project designs
proposed impacts to all 77 linear feet of Seasonal RPW Stream N which has been reduced to 56
linear feet of impacts.
Impacts to Linear Wetland Y will result from the construction of relocated Norfolk Southern freight
tracks. The relocation of the proposed alignment to avoid and minimize impacts would result in
impacts to nearby historic buildings and so has been rejected as a minimization and avoidance
alternative.

Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A will result from the widening of the existing railway
embankment and the extension of the existing pipe culverts under the embankment. Any changes
to the alignment in this area would have major impacts to nearby historic buildings. Additionally,
there is a requirement to stay within the existing railroad right-of-way, so the consideration of
another alternative was rejected. Previous project designs proposed impacts to 111 linear feet of
Perennial RPW Stream A which has been reduced to 100 linear feet of impacts.
Impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream A will result from the widening of the existing railway
embankment and the placement of a box culvert between the proposed retaining wall and North
Davidson Street. Any changes to the alignment in this area would have major impacts on North
Davidson Street, which would require relocation. Additionally, there is a requirement to stay within
the existing railroad right-of-way, so the consideration of another alternative was rejected.
Impacts to Linear Wetland A will result from the relocation of the existing railroad spur. The LYNX
BLE tracks, freight tracks and future passenger tracks must fit within the existing railroad right-of-
way. If the proposed tracks are moved outside the existing railroad right-of-way, North Davidson
Street would have to be relocated, which would be a significant cost increase. The existing spur
track must be relocated to accommodate the realigned freight tracks near Craighead Rd. so the
consideration of another alternative was rejected.
Impacts to Wetland A will result from the widening of the existing railway embankment and the
placement of a box culvert between the proposed MSE wall and North Davidson Street. Any
changes to the alignment in this area would have major impacts on North Davidson Street, which
would require relocation. Additionally, there is a requirement to stay within the existing railroad
right-of-way, so the consideration of another alternative was rejected.
No impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream B are anticipated.
Impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream P will result from the widening of the existing railway
embankment and the placement of a multi-use path parallel to the railway. Seasonal RPW
Stream P is located between the railway embankment and industrial properties, and has been
determined to be of low quality by the NCDWQ during a site review conducted on April 4, 2011.
The proposed LYNX BLE alignment is necessary to avoid the freight tracks and the historic
buildings located within the area, so the consideration of another alternative was rejected. The
Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option avoided impacts to Stream P, but was
rejected due to the impacts that would have occurred to cultural resources located along that
alignment as well as visual and financial resources. The preliminary conceptual engineering
design of the multi-use path developed an alignment to account for the least impacts along the
corridor. The need to place the multi-use path between the light rail and the surrounding
industrial properties minimizes available alternatives. The path cannot be placed on the opposite
side of the light rail as it would then be located between the light rail and freight rail tracks.
Comparing the LYNX BLE design without the path, the addition of the multi-use path would result
in impacts to the entire reach of Stream P, a low quality drainage feature, resulting in an
additional incremental stream impact of 493 If.
Impacts to Isolated Wetland P will result from the widening of the existing railway embankment
and the placement of a multi-use path parallel to the railway. Isolated Wetland P is located
between the railway embankment and a residential property, and no opportunities to change the
alignment are available.

Impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream Z will result from the placement of a new pipe under the
embankment and the associated riprap apron proposed. The existing location of the stream and
pipe make this impact unavoidable. Previous project designs proposed impacts to 53 linear feet
of Seasonal RPW Stream Z which has been reduced to 44 linear feet of impacts through the
reduction in the amount of riprap placed at the end of the discharge pipe.
No impacts to Isolated Wetland O are anticipated.
No impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream E are anticipated.
Impacts to Wetland E will result from the construction of the entrance roadway to the Old Concord
Station Road Park-and-Ride. In order to avoid this wetland, the number of parking spaces
available would need to be greatly reduced and/or the walking distance would be much greater
for the people using the park-and-ride. This would cause a major impact in ridership which would
impact long term revenue for the project so this was eliminated as an alternative. Previous project
designs proposed impacts to 0.06 acre of Wetland E which has been reduced to 0.057 acre of
impacts.
No impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream X are anticipated.
No impacts to Wetland X are anticipated.
Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream U will be avoided through the construction of a multi-span
concrete bridge over the stream channel. The piers for the proposed bridge will be placed outside
of the top of banks to ensure that no impacts will occur to this stream. No impacts to Perennial
RPW Stream U are anticipated. Preliminary floodplain modeling has been conducted to
determine the potential impacts to flood levels resulting from the construction of the proposed
bridge. It is anticipated that there will be no impact to the area flood elevations. A"No-Rise"
certification application will be submitted to the Mecklenburg Floodplain Administrator after the
final design has been completed.
Impacts to Isolated Wetland R would result from the creation of the railway embankment and
bridge abutment as well as the proposed drainage ditch conveying the stormwater from upstream
areas to Toby Creek (Perennial RPW Stream U). Existing stormwater drainage from the
roadways and parking lots is already being routed to this wetland. Changing the alignment of the
rail line in this area would move the proposed station away from roadway and make the use of
station impractical for riders to use.
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has defined mitigation in 40 CFR Part 1508.20 to
include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and
compensating for impacts. Three general types of mitigation include avoidance, minimization and
compensatory mitigation. Compensatory mitigation consists usually of the restoration of existing
degraded wetlands or waters, or the creation of waters of the U.S. of equal or greater value than
the waters to be impacted. This type of mitigation is only undertaken after avoidance and
minimization actions are exhausted and should be undertaken, when practicable, in areas near
the impact site (i.e., on-site compensatory mitigation).
Since jurisdictional streams and wetlands in the study area intersect the project corridor, impacts
to waters of the U.S. as a result of the proposed LYNX BLE are largely unavoidable. The use of
the existing rail right-of-way includes the requirement to maintain enough distance from the
existing railroad tracks to accommodate future high speed rail service, and this need has
December 2011 Page 17 Rev. 00

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
established the requirements for the size of the proposed rail embankment and pushes the
proposed LYNX BLE line to the edge of the right-of-way. Avoidance and minimization strategies
would be utilized in all segments of the project where feasible and practicable. In addition, bridges
are also being included where the proposed LYNX BLE would cross Little Sugar Creek and Toby
Creek.
Following the implementation of impact avoidance and minimization design strategies, it is
anticipated that compensatory mitigation will be required for all remaining permanent unavoidable
impacts to streams and wetlands in the study area. A Section 404 permit application must include
a discussion of the measures taken to avoid/minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., and must
also include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset permanent losses of waters of the U.S.,
as well as a statement describing how temporary losses would be minimized to the maximum
extent practicable.
It is anticipated that the Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank (Umbrella Bank)
will be utilized to provide off-site mitigation to satisfy the federal Clean Water Act compensatory
mitigation requirements in the event that mitigation is required for this project and on-site mitigation is
not feasible and/or practicable. The purchase of stream credits from the Umbrella Bank will satisfy
the LYNX BLE's mitigation requirements. Based on discussions during the October 20, 2011 pre-
application meeting, the City anticipates that the Umbrella Bank would have 3,312 linear feet of
available stream credits (3,268 linear feet in the Lower Catawba River basin and 44 linear feet in
the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin) to accommodate the LYNX BLE Project. The Charlotte Umbrella
Bank acceptance letter is included in Attachment E. In accordance with the "Memorandum of
Agreement Among the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the North
Carolina Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District"
(MOA), July 22, 2003, the NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will also be requested
to provide off-site wetland mitigation via purchase of in-lieu fee credits. A 2:1 mitigation ratio has
been requested for the impacts to 0.377 acre of wetlands located within the Lower Catawba River
Basin and a 1:1 mitigation ratio for the 0.057 acre of wetlands located within the Yadkin-Pee Dee
River Basin for a total of 1.25 acres of wetland mitigation credits required; please refer to Tables 4, 5,
6 and 7— Stream and Wetland Impacts Tables by Basin for a summary of these impacts. Pursuant
to SL 2008-152, the use of the EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements must include written
acknowledgement by the applicant of the laws' requirements and compliance with them. The EEP
acceptance letter is included in Attachment E. A final determination regarding mitigation for impacts
to waters of the U.S. rests with the USCOE and NCDWQ and compensatory mitigation for
impacts will be resolved during the permitting phase of the project. In the case of public
transportation projects, the mitigation plan must be implemented before the proposed project is
open to the traveling public.
Tables 4, 5, 6, and 7 summarize the stream and wetland impacts by river basin. The NCDWQ
has requested these tables to be included in the Request for Individual Permit.

7.0 Protected Species
Field reviews were conducted along the proposed LYNX BLE project corridor by STV/RWA
scientists on multiple dates between September 2, 2008 and December 5, 2008. Additional field
reviews were conducted along the railroad right-of-way portion of the alignment on February 9,
February 11, and February 13, 2009. Additional field reviews for areas added to the project were
conducted on June 6, July 21 and 28, October 1, November 5, 2009, July 23, 2010 and May 5,
2011. The field investigators walked the following locations: the proposed project right-of-way,
which measures approximately 200 feet wide; the proposed station locations; and the proposed
park-and-ride facility locations. Stream crossings were examined and plant communities and their
associated wildlife were identified and recorded. Wildlife identification involved using one or more
of the following observation techniques: active searching, visual observations and identifying by
characteristic signs of wildlife sounds, scat, remains, tracks and burrows.
Prior to the field site visits, STV/RWA reviewed the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database, which provided existing data concerning the potential occurrence of federally
threatened and endangered species in Mecklenburg County.
The list of federally endangered and threatened species known to occur in Mecklenburg County
was reviewed, and evaluations were performed to determine the likelihood of the presence of
each species within the project study area. STV/RWA environmental scientists conducted field
reviews in the project study area that matched descriptions of preferred habitat for the federally
protected species listed below. Table 8 shows the Federal and State-Listed Species in
Mecklenburg County.

Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laeviqata), State and Federal Listed Endanqered
The smooth coneflower grows up to 1.5 meters tall and contains large (approximately 20
centimeters (cm) in length and 7.5 cm in width) basal leaves. The stem of the plant is smooth with
few leaves. The flower consists of rays that are light pink to purplish, usually drooping and are 5
to eight cm long. This perennial plant generally occurs in basic to circumneutral soils of ineadows
and woodlands. The plant, which typically blooms in June, has been found growing in habitats
that include upland oak-hickory or mixed oak-pine forests, old field habitat, transmission line
rights-of-way and roadsides. Smooth coneflower is an associate of the Piedmont Prairie
community type often found growing with populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. This plant is
listed as a current record for Mecklenburg County and there is one documented population
located approximately 12 miles northwest of Charlotte.
The study area may provide the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species. No
individuals of smooth coneflower were observed during field reviews of the study area conducted
by HARP during the last week of September and the first week of October, 2007 and by
STV/RWA between September 2008 and November, 2009.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzi►), State and Federal Listed Endanqered
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herbaceous plant limited to the Piedmont counties of North
and South Carolina. The plant grows from one to two meters tall from a cluster of tuberous roots.
The sunflower consists of a flower with a yellow disk and ray flowers formed on small heads. The
disc is less than 1.5 cm across and the petals are two to three cm long. The lanceolate leaves are
opposite on the lower stem and alternate near the flowers. The typical habitat for this plant
includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission line rights-of-way, open areas and edges of upland
woods. Periodically maintained rights-of-way are typically considered good potential habitat for
the Schweinitz's sunflower. Major characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's
sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes, soils that
are clayey in texture (and often with substantial rock fragments), soils that have a high shrink-
swell capacity and soils that vary over the course of the year from very wet to very dry. Flowering

within the County.
The study area may provide the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species. One
population was found in 1994-1995 along the project corridor about one and one-half miles
southwest of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. NCNHP Program biologists searched for this
population in 2003 and 2005, but were unable to locate the population, so it was assumed
extirpated. Scientists from HARP examined the project corridor during the last week of
September and the first week of October, 2007 and did not find any specimens. The study area
was searched by STV/RWA scientists between September 2008 and November 2009, during the
blooming period for Schweinitz's sunflower and no specimens were found.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmiqona decorata), State and Federal listed Endanqered
The Carolina heelsplitter has an ovate, trapezoidal shell. The surface of this species is yellowish,
greenish or brownish with greenish, blackish rays. The inner shell ranges from iridescent to
mottled pale orange. The average size of the Carolina heelsplitter is 78 millimeters (mm). The
Carolina heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers as well as ponds over a variety
of substrates usually near stable, well-shaded stream banks. Most individuals are found in
undercuts and along shaded banks stabilized with extensive tree roots, buried logs or rocks. The
Carolina heelsplitter requires waterways with well oxygenated clean water. This mollusk is listed
as an historical occurrence in Mecklenburg County. Six populations of this mussel are presently
known to exist, two of which occur within North Carolina. One small remnant population occurs in
the Catawba River system in Waxhaw Creek in Union County and another small population
occurs in a short stretch of Goose Creek, a tributary to the Rocky River in the Pee Dee River
system, also in Union County.
Potential habitat may exist within Toby Creek located within the project corridor. Potential habitat
characteristics such as undercut shaded banks with extensive root systems and buried logs and
rocks within the channel were observed in Toby Creek. However, existing water quality may be a
limiting factor in the occurrence of Carolina heelsplitter within this stream. The general stagnant
and apparent non-oxygenated conditions of the water make this habitat considerably less than
optimal. No field investigations were made. Given the degraded habitat and the lack of any recent
records of this mussel occurring in Mecklenburg County, the likelihood that this mussel occurs in
the study area is concluded to be remote.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxi►), State and Federal listed Endanqered
Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets.
Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both
male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense
cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; the fruit,
a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac grows in
sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. This plant reportedly survives best in
areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. This plant is restricted to
seven counties in North Carolina and is listed as historic in Mecklenburg County.
December 2011 Page 25 Rev. 00

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
No individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed within the project corridor. The NCNHP was
contacted to provide the locations of the nearest populations of Michaux's sumac. The NCNHP
determined that no populations of Michaux's sumac were present within several miles of the
study area. The study area lacks the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species and
there are no known populations within the proximity of the site, so it is unlikely that Michaux's
sumac would be found in the study area.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
In addition to on-site field reviews, information was requested from the USFWS regarding
protected species information within the project study area. In a letter dated December 2, 2005,
the USFWS indicated that a historic population of Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)
had been found near the project corridor's northern terminus and recommended a detailed
botanical analysis be conducted for the project, which was completed during the preparation of
the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) that was completed July 2, 2010.
Correspondence from the NCNHP indicates that a historic population of Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii) was found near the project corridor in 1994-1995 but has not been found
since then.
The NCNHP correspondence also indicates that a population of Federal Species of Concern and
State-Significantly Rare Carolina birdsfoot-trefoil (Acmispon helleri) was found in 1994 in
scattered locations along the project corridor, between the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the I-
85 interchange. Carolina birdsfoot-trefoil was found by Habitat Assessment and Restoration
Program, Inc. (HARP) scientists at three sites along the railroad right-of-way portion of the project
corridor during the last week of September and the first week of October, 2007. The most recent
field review held specifically to find the Carolina birdsfoot-trefoil was performed on May 5, 2011.
The remains of one plant persisting from the 2010 growing season was found during this review,
indicating that the species may still be present within the project corridor during project
construction. No live plants were identified. Correspondence from the NCNHP and the USFWS is
found in Attachment E— Agency Correspondence.
For the Carolina birds-foot trefoil, prior to construction, the contractor will be required to confirm
the presence of the plant in the corridor. If present, then seeds from the plant will be collected and
subsequently sown/scattered in newly disturbed areas, such as along road/rail embankments
associated with project construction. Additionally, seeds will be donated to the North Carolina
Botanical Garden for deep freeze purposes; and CATS will coordinate with the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) to update their records.
In summary, the proposed LYNX BLE Project is anticipated to have no effect on federally
protected species of Mecklenburg County. The U.S. Department of the Interior informed the FTA
that Section 7 requirements were satisfied in a December 2010 letter (Attachment E).
8.0 Stormwater Management
A Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) will be prepared for this project to document the design
process and to develop the stormwater management system for the LYNX BLE. STV/RWA and
CATS understand and are committed to providing a stormwater management plan that achieves
erosion and sediment control during construction and provides treatment of stormwater runoff
post construction. The SMP will be submitted to both the NCDWQ and the City of Charlotte as
part of final design. The City of Charlotte is a Certified Local Government by NCDENR, and the
SMP will be submitted to the City for review and approval as part of final design. The NCDWQ
confirmed in an e-mail from Polly Lespinasse on October 31, 2011, that the SMP will be reviewed
December 2011 Page 26 Rev. 00

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX

Extension
and certified by the City of Charlotte since the City operates a delegated Phase II program
(Attachment E).
For the LYNX BLE through the existing rail corridor, the primary stormwater collection system will
consist of grass swales. In areas of elevated or constrained tracks, stormwater will be filtered
through washed stone (ballast) and collected in underdrain systems. Off-site drainage areas will
be collected in culverts, channels and/or pipe systems and routed through the LYNX BLE project
limits. For the LYNX BLE through the Center City Charlotte (downtown) area and North Tryon
Street/US 29 corridor, stormwater will be filtered through washed stone and collected in
underdrain systems which connect to pipe systems that convey street runoff. Due to the
limitations and constraints imposed on this linear project from right-of-way limitations and railroad
requirements, the stormwater management measures to be located in the rail right-of-way will be
designed to provide measures to the "maximum extent practicable."
For some previously developed areas that will be used by the LYNX BLE, large areas of
impervious concrete and asphalt pavement will be removed by the project. Most of these areas
will be replaced by ballasted tracks for the rail yard. Some new impervious surfaces will be
created for the service building, parking, and access paths. Runoff will be collected in grass
swales, underdrain systems, and a pipe system. Treatment is proposed to be provided by a
surface sand filter.
The park-and-ride facilities include inlets, drainage pipes and/or open grassed channels and
sheet flow drainage to provide conveyance of stormwater run-off to downstream existing systems
or natural channels. The park-and-ride site plans were designed in accordance with the City of
Charlotte Post-Construction Controls Ordinance (PCCO) as part of the NPDES permitting
process. Retention ponds or underground stormwater vaults were specified at sites where the
proposed development will result in an increase of impervious area compared to the existing
condition. The post-developed run-off rate for the 10 year and 25 year 6-hour storm event was
controlled to match the pre-developed discharge rate for each respective storm event. Where
possible, wet detention ponds and/or bio-retention water quality treatment best management
practices (BMP's) were designed in accordance with City and State guidelines to provide 85%
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal from the stormwater run-off. The PCCO allows flexibility
for development within transit areas and as an option additional retention volume to store the run-
off volume from the 1-year 24-hour rainfall event can be provided in place of 85% TSS removal.
This additional retention volume, known as the channel protection volume, was provided at park-
and-ride facilities where above ground water quality BMP's were not practical. Walk-up stations
where no new parking facilities were added were designed with piped connections to the track
drainage system or adjacent existing stormwater systems.
BMP measures for the Protection of Surface Waters will be implemented during project
construction. Accordingly, sandbags, cofferdams, or other diversion structures will be used,
where possible, to prevent excavation in flowing water. If a dry work area is not necessary to
place/cure concrete, special measures will be taken to ensure that water in contact with the
concrete operations is contained and treated prior to releasing back into the receiving waters.
Techniques such as cofferdams and/or pumping to special containment areas will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis during construction, if necessary.
During construction, side ditches will not drain directly to adjacent/nearby stream channels. Ditch
water will be diverted into a sump or stable forested vegetation where sediment can be filtered
appropriately before entering nearby/adjacent stream channels. Likewise, measures such as
sandbags, cofferdams, or other diversion structures will be used, where possible, to minimize flow

Extension
of water into approach ditches at culvert sites and from surface runoff from roads. Where
discharges to streams occur (Streams C, D, K, A, and Z) appropriate riprap armoring of the
channel as required will be utilized to prevent the release of disturbed sediment into the stream
channel. Heavy equipment will be prohibited from operating within stream channels, without
appropriate measures.
Stormwater basins will be designed and built at each of the proposed stations that encompass
surface parking lots. These basins will capture surface water run-off, thereby reducing the amount
of runoff into nearby waterways. BMP measures will comply with federal, state and local
guidelines on sediment discharge thresholds, particularly the City of Charlotte PCCO. A detailed
analysis of the sediment load from the proposed project will be generated in addition to BMP
measures that would be employed. These analyses will be outlined in the Erosion and Sediment
Control Plans developed during final design.
Old Concord Road Station Park-and-Ride
The post-developed site stormwater run-off for this facility will be conveyed through a combination
of pipes, grassed swales and sheet flow to stormwater treatment and volume structural controls
on the site prior to discharge (Attachment C— Figure 21). Based on current design, two bio-
retention cells located within the parking area will provide 85% TSS removal from the stormwater
run-off prior to discharging to the adjacent, jurisdictional Stream E. The wet pond and bio-
retention cells have been designed in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design
Manual and the City of Charlotte PCCO.
Sugar Creek Station Park-and-Ride
Based on current design, the post-developed site stormwater run-off for this facility will be
conveyed by pipe to two separate underground stormwater retention vaults. These underground
vaults, one in each parking area have been designed to store the post-developed run-off volume
created by the one year 24-hr storm event (also known as the channel protection volume). The
volume will then be released in a period of time not less than 48 hours. The PCCO allows for
flexibility of development within defined transit districts such as where this site is located. The
proposed development has the option of providing 85% TSS removal, storage of the channel
protection run-off volume, or paying a mitigation fee based on new site impervious area. The
underground vaults will discharge to the existing stormwater system in Greensboro Street north of
the site.
University City Blvd. Station Park-and-Ride
Based on current design, the post-developed site stormwater run-off for this facility will be
conveyed by pipe to a wet detention pond on the site for water quality treatment and quantity
control. The wet pond will treat stormwater run-off from the parking deck, proposed public
roadways and undeveloped parcels within the site. The wet pond will provide volume control and
85% TSS removal for the entire site. The wet pond discharges to the existing jurisdictional
Stream X located to the west of the site. The wet pond and bio-retention cells have been
designed in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual and the City of
Charlotte PCCO.
JW Clay Blvd. Station Park-and-Ride
Based on current design, the post-developed site stormwater run-off for this facility will be
conveyed by pipe to an underground stormwater retention vault. This underground vault has
been designed to store the post-developed run-off volume created by the one year 24-hr storm
event (also known as the channel protection volume) and has been designed as per the Charlotte
December 2011 Page 28 Rev. 00

PCCO requirements in lieu of 85% TSS removal. The underground vault discharges to the
existing stormwater system on the site.
9.0 Alternatives Analysis
As per Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1), a thorough consideration of project alternatives has
been conducted to ensure that the proposed project represents the least environmentally
damaging alternative that meets the purpose and need of the project. The Alternatives Analysis
has been previously submitted to the regulatory agencies including the USCOE and NCDWQ for
review as part of the Final EIS prepared for the project. Alignment alternatives for the multi-use
trail were studied as part of the NECI bicycle report. The LYNX BLE project's comprehensive
alternatives analysis narrative is presented in Attachment F.
In summary, it has been determined that the LYNX BLE Project will impact all of seasonal RPW
Stream P(1,666 linear feet), which would not have been impacted by the Light Rail Alternative -
Sugar Creek Design Option. The LYNX BLE also will impact a portion of Wetland E(0.057 acre)
that may not have been impacted by the Light Rail Alternative - Sugar Creek Design Option. The
Light Rail Alternative - Sugar Creek Design Option would have impacted all of perennial RPW
Stream S(211 linear feet), but would have avoided impacts to seasonal RPW Stream P and
possibly Wetland E. Therefore, the LYNX BLE impacts more linear feet of stream (1,455 linear
feet) and possibly more wetland (0.057 acre) than the Light Rail Alternative - Sugar Creek Design
Option. It has been determined however, that the impacts to streams and wetlands is necessary
to avoid the impacts to historic and visual resources, as well as the additional costs associated
with the Light Rail Alternative - Sugar Creek Design Option.
10.0 Indirect Cumulative Effects
The Section 401 Water Quality Certification Program requires that the NCDWQ determine that a
project "does not result in cumulative impacts, based upon past or reasonably anticipated future
impacts, that cause or will cause a violation of downstream water quality standards" (15A NCAC
2H).
Cumulative impacts of this proposed railway extension project have been evaluated on the basis
of Section 401 Certification policy, which requires an examination of cumulative impacts as they
relate to downstream water quality standards. Impacts associated with the development of the
proposed project include, but are not necessarily limited to, non-point source pollution emanating
from stormwater run-off, direct stream impacts, and wetland reduction impacts. An environmental
inventory of the study area was completed to identify potentially affected water bodies, their
characteristics, water quality classifications, relevant water quality protection regulations, and the
general extent of current impervious cover within the watersheds. This assessment establishes a
cause and effect relationship between past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions
and downstream water quality.
The potential for growth and land use changes in the overall northeast corridor as a result of the
proposed project is low-to-moderate under the LYNX BLE. Most of the northeast corridor contains
neighborhoods in an urban or suburban setting, and the proposed project is not likely to cause a
substantial change in type or intensity of land use throughout the corridor. The northeast portion
of Charlotte will experience growth and development in the study time frame with or without the
proposed project, as evidenced by population and employment projections. The proposed project
is not likely to influence if growth will occur in the corridor, but rather where and how the growth
would occur. It is reasonably foreseeable that the project will result in infill development,
December 2011 Page 29 Rev. 00

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
revitalization and redevelopment around the station areas, consistent with the City's land use
plan. The Indirect Cumulative Effects analysis prepared for the project is located in Attachment G.
In summary, induced growth as a result of the project could have an indirect effect on water
resources and water quality. Overall growth resulting from the proposed project would occur at a
low-to-moderate rate in the overall northeast corridor. Without this project, it is expected that this
same growth would still occur within the overall corridor; but would occur at lower densities and in
a less concentrated manner. The LYNX BLE would shape the location and intensity of this growth
in station areas; therefore, the LYNX BLE is predicted to have fewer overall effects on water
resources and water quality in the project corridor than the No-Build Alternative. In addition, water
quality will be further mitigated by the many regulations and local ordinances enacted to protect
these valuable resources.
11.0 Cultural Resources
Archaeological Resources
The Archaeology Identification Survey of the Proposed LYNX Blue Line Extension (Coastal
Carolina Research, 2009) and its addendum of December 2009 were completed to identify new
or previously recorded sites listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register (NR) within the
area of potential effect (APE). The survey identified that two previously recorded precontact
Native American sites were located within the APE, but were destroyed in the 1970s by
development. Therefore, no known archaeological sites were found to be located within the APE.
No archaeological resources were found within the APE or at any of the proposed station
locations. However, as these resources are underground and not visible, impacts to
archaeological resources cannot be dismissed until construction activities begin.
Historic Resources
The existing conditions within the study area, or APE, are further documented in the Phase 11
Historic Resources Survey Report (Mattson, Alexander & Associates (MAA), 2008). The survey
meets the guidelines for architectural surveys established by the North Carolina SHPO and the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (October 2003).
Fieldwork, conducted during October and November 2008, consisted of an architectural survey
and site inspections of selected properties and neighborhoods that warranted intensive analysis.
All residential, commercial, and the LYNX BLE would have No Effect on archaeological resources
industrial historic districts, as well as individual buildings, were examined. Potential historic
properties identified during the research and fieldwork phase were evaluated against the Section
106 criteria for eligibility for listing in the National Register (36 CFR 60.4.). The resources
determined to be in or eligible for listing in the NR are described in this section.
Phillip Carev Companv Warehouse (NR-Listed) (1): 301 East 7th Street, a two-story, brick
building with a low-pitched, front gable roof. This warehouse served commercial
establishments along the rail corridors within Center City Charlotte. It is a rare surviving
warehouse in downtown Charlotte that dates to the early 20th Century and as such is listed in
the National Register. It was locally-designated by the Charlotte Landmarks Commission in
1983.
McNeil Paper Companv Warehouse Complex (NR-Eligible) (2): 301-307 East 8th Street, two
masonry buildings that occupy a site along the former Southern Railway frontage within
Center City Charlotte. This complex of buildings is a rare vestige of the numerous commercial
storage buildings that once lined the rail corridors of Charlotte. It is recommended for the

Extension
National Register due to its importance of commerce in the early 20th century. It was added
to the North Carolina Division of Culture and History's Study List in 2001 and was listed as a
Local Historic Landmark in 1989.
• Orient Manufacturinq Companv/Chadwick Hoskins No. 3(NR-Listed) (3): 311 East 12th
Street, currently known as the Alpha Mill, was listed on the National Register in 2006 and
2007 as part of the certified rehabilitation of the property for use as apartments. The mill is
listed for its importance with industry in Charlotte during the early 20th Century and for its
architecture. The mill is one of a small group of surviving Charlotte cotton mills and is a
substantial, brick, Romanesque Revival factory. It was the second textile mill erected in
Charlotte. It was listed as a Locally Designated Historic Landmark in 1984.
• Chadbourn Hosierv Mills (NR-Eligible) (4): 451 Jordan Place, a large, rectangular, masonry
mill constructed in 1947. This mill represents the largest example of a hosiery mill in Charlotte
and is one of two hosiery mills remaining in town. It is recommended eligible for the National
Register due to its association with early industry and for its architecture. The mill is a stylish
example of the postwar textile mill.
• North Charlotte Historic District (NR-Listed) (5): bound by the railroad tracks on the north, just
south of Anderson Street on the east, Spencer Street to the southeast, Charles Avenue on
the southwest and just north of Matheson on the west. This district was nominated to the
National Register in 1990 for its association with industry and architecture. This historic
district contains Charlotte's largest concentration of intact cotton mills and mill housing related
to the rise of textile manufacturing in the Piedmont region of the U.S. The district
encompasses 155 acres and over 400 resources. The majority of buildings date from 1903
and circa 1915. The district is oriented towards the former Southern Railway, now the North
Carolina Railroad (NCRR), and North Davidson Street. This area is locally known as "NoDa."
• Herrin Brothers Coal and Ice Companv Complex (NR-Eligible) (6): 315 East 36th Street, a
well-preserved complex of functional, frame, brick, metal and concrete buildings historically
associated with a small-scale fuel and ice operation. This complex is recommended eligible
for the National Register for its association with commerce and for its architecture. It is one of
two intact examples of such fuel and ice facilities remaining in Charlotte.
• Standard Chemical Products Plant (NR-Eliqible) (7): 600 East Sugar Creek Road, a
modernist office and laboratory that faces Sugar Creek Road at the former Southern Railway
tracks, now the present day NCRR tracks. This 1956 building is recommended for the
National Register for its association with early Charlotte industry and architecture. The plant
is a notable example of post-World War II modernist architecture in Charlotte.
• Republic Steel Corporation Plant (NR-Eligible) (8): 601 Sugar Creek Road, a one-story office
at the northwest corner of the property facing Sugar Creek Road and an expansive, brick and
corrugated steel warehousing and fabrication units to the rear. This circa 1956 plant was
recommended eligible for the National Register based on its association with early Charlotte
industry and architecture. It is a modernist architectural style building with historic rail uses.
• General Motors Corporation Traininq Center (NR-Eligible) (9): 5500 North Tryon Street, is a
large one-story, masonry facility with a flat roof, front office, adjacent auditorium, and a long
classroom wing. The building was constructed in 1954 and served as a regional training
center. It is recommended eligible for the National Register based on its association with
early Charlotte commerce and its architecture. It is a fine, low-rise modernist building of the
postwar era.
The determination of effects on historic architectural resources is documented in the Evaluation of
Effects Report (MAA, 2009) and SHPO correspondence (Attachment E), and is summarized in
Table 10. The LYNX BLE Project would have No Effect on three of the historic resources listed in
or eligible for the National Register, and would have No Adverse Effect on the Orient

Manufacturing Company/Chadwick Hoskins No. 3; North Charlotte Historic District; Herrin
Brothers Coal and Ice Company Complex; Standard Chemical Products Plant; and the General
Motors Corporation Training Center. The proposed project would not alter any of the
characteristics that qualify the historic resources listed in Table 1 for inclusion on the National
Register. This is due primarily to the fact that no historic properties would be altered or removed
by the proposed project, and the proposed project would not greatly alter the urban, industrial and
rail-oriented view sheds of the historic resources. De minimis Section 4(fl findings are proposed
for these resources.
A general and detailed noise and vibration assessment was conducted in accordance with the
Federal Transit Administration's Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment guidance
manual, May 2006. There will be no operational noise or vibration impact on historic resources
with the exception of the Orient Manufacturing Company site. There would be an effect on this
property due to these two elements, but this effect would not be adverse and would not alter the
characteristics for which this resource is listed on the National Register.

The following summarizes the effects of the LYNX BLE on each of the historic resources
identified:
• Phillip Carev Companv Warehouse (NR-Listed) (1): The proposed project would have No
Effect on this resource. The light rail vehicles would run on the existing LYNX Blue Line
tracks located behind this building, which would be relocated slightly to the north (away from
the structure), and along tracks to be installed for the southbound trains. No additional right-

of-way would be needed from this resource. The introduction of light rail near this resource
would not alter the characteristics for which this resource is listed on the National Register.
• McNeil Paper Companv Warehouse Complex (NR-Eliqible) (2): The proposed project would
have No Effect on this resource. The light rail vehicles would run on the existing LYNX Blue
Line tracks located behind this building, which would be relocated slightly to the north (away
from the structure), and along tracks to be installed for the southbound trains. The 9th Street
Station would be located one block to the north of the property. The proposed project would
not require the acquisition of land from the property. The introduction of light rail near this
resource would not alter the characteristics for which this resource is listed on the National
Register.
• Orient Manufacturinq Companv/Chadwick Hoskins No. 3(NR-Listed) (3): The proposed
project would have a No Adverse Effect on this resource. Although the trackway would be
constructed within the historic boundary of the property, the new tracks would be built within
existing railroad right-of-way which has always overlapped the parcel boundaries of the
historic mill. A retaining wall and bridge structure would be constructed along the north side of
the property to elevate the light rail tracks over the existing CSX rail line. A potential
moderate noise impact would occur for the current residential use of this property; however,
there would be no effect on the property as a historic resource because light rail operations
would not create noise or vibration levels greater than the historic operations of the freight
trains through the area and would not alter the historic character and function of the property.
While the retaining wall and bridge would alter the views to and from the property, this would
occur within the context of the property where views are historically industrial and rail-
oriented and the views to the south are already compromised by the existing I-277 structures.
There would be an effect on this property due to these two elements, but this effect would not
be adverse and would not alter the characteristics for which this resource is listed on the
National Register.
• Chadbourn Hosierv Mills (NR-Eliqible) (4): The proposed project would have No Effect on the
Chadbourn Hosiery Mills. This resource is located across Brevard Street from the proposed
location of the LYNX BLE. The building does not have windows and, therefore, no views from
the building would be altered. The existing Duke Energy electrical substation is located
across the street and comprises the views from the building. The context of the resource is
industrial and the light rail would not alter this resource or the characteristics which make it
eligible for the National Register.
• North Charlotte Historic District (NR-Listed) (5): The proposed project would have a No
Adverse Effect on this historic resource. The LYNX BLE would include two tracks that parallel
the south side of the existing railroad right-of-way, a station at 36th Street, relocation of the
existing freight tracks, and the depression of 36th Street under the future light rail and
existing freight tracks. At 36th Street, the proposed light rail line and relocated freight tracks
would be approximately eight feet above the existing grade. Near 36th Street, the National
Register boundaries for the North Charlotte Historic District overlap the existing railroad right-
of-way. Portions of the proposed alignment and retaining walls would lie within the historic
boundary. The action would occur largely within the existing right-of-way; however, minor
land acquisition would be required within the North Charlotte Historic District at the Johnston
Mill property for station access. Additionally, the rear loading area of the former Grinnell
Manufacturing Company Building, a contributing resource to the historic district located at
36th Street and the railroad, would be eliminated. However, this would not alter the structure
or its current use, as loading no longer occurs at this location. Additionally, as part of the
depression of 36th Street, a retaining wall would be constructed along 36th Street adjacent to
the Grinnell Manufacturing Company Building. Retaining walls deflect, or move, and
engineering analysis determined that the deflections in the retaining wall along 36th Street
could cause structural impacts to the Grinnell Manufacturing Company Building due to its
December 2011 Page 33 Rev. 00

close proximity. In an effort to protect this contributing historic resource, CATS has proposed
the use of an underpinning system (i.e., the use of foundation brackets) to support the
building and protect it from deflections of the retaining wall. The underpinning system is
located completely underground, and CATS would not require permanent acquisition of any
of the property, including the building, to achieve this proposed action. Rather, additional
temporary easements would be needed for installation of the foundation brackets. The
proposed action would not result in negative impacts to the Grinnell Manufacturing Building.
SHPO concurred with a No Adverse Effect on the North Charlotte Historic District as a result
of this action (Appendix E- Agency Correspondence). The 36th Street Station staircase and
bicycle and pedestrian walkways, and the depression of 36th Street would also occur within
the National Register boundaries of this district. All access to resources within the district
would be maintained. This depression of 36th Street would result in an alteration of one of
the streets within the district, but this alteration would not change the characteristics which
make it eligible for the National Register. The existing freight track relocation would occur
outside of the National Register boundaries. No structures within the historic district would be
demolished or altered as a result of the proposed project with the exception of a non-
contributing timber trestle.
• Herrin Brothers Coal and Ice Companv Complex (NR-Eligible) (6): The proposed project
would have a No Adverse Effect on this resource. An effect would occur as a result of the
depression of 36th Street under the future light rail and relocation of existing freight tracks
adjacent to this resource. A minor amount of land (approximately 5,874 square feet, less than
2 percent) would be acquired, but no buildings located on the property would be altered or
demolished. The relocated freight tracks would extend through the southern edge of the
property within the existing rail corridor. The proposed action would not require the alteration
or demolition of any structures located on site. Access to the site would be maintained at its
current location; however a temporary construction easement would be required to construct
the retaining wall for the depression of 36th Street. The 36th Street Station would be
constructed on the south side of the rail corridor, away from this resource, introducing a
relatively minor, but new visual element to this resource. While some effects would occur as a
result of the proposed project, these alterations would not change the characteristics which
make it eligible for the National Register. Changes in acquisition needs since the Draft EIS
(due to engineering refinements and acquisition of more-detailed survey data) were
discussed with SHPO.
• Standard Chemical Products Plant (NR-Eligible) (7): The proposed project would have No
Adverse Effect on this resource. The proposed light rail line would be constructed within the
existing railroad right-of-way which is outside the National Register boundary for the property.
An effect would occur as a result of the placement of the Sugar Creek Station within the
existing railroad right-of-way approximately 300 feet south of Sugar Creek Road, which the
North Carolina Railroad is planning to depress under the railroad. The station would be at the
existing grade. The southeast corner of the property would need to be acquired to
accommodate a sidewalk and ramp for the station. The area needed for the sidewalk and
ramp is now part of a paved loading area, and no buildings or significant features would be
demolished for the proposed project. While some effects would occur as a result of the
proposed project, these alterations would not change the characteristics which make it
eligible for the National Register.
• Republic Steel Corporation Plant (NR-Eligible) (8): The proposed project would have No
Effect on this resource. The proposed project would be constructed within the existing
railroad right-of-way which is outside the National Register boundaries of the property. Due to
the industrial nature of this setting, the proposed project would not alter the characteristics
which make this resource eligible for the National Register. No permanent acquisition of the
property would be needed, but a temporary construction easement would be required.

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
General Motors Corporation Traininq Center (NR-Eligible) (9): The proposed project would
have a No Adverse Effect on this resource. The proposed project would require the
acquisition of minor amounts of land (approximately 10 percent of the property) from the
southeast corner of the property within the National Register boundaries. The proposed
project would leave much of the existing parking lot for the building intact. The retaining walls
for the bridge over the Old Concord Road/North Tryon Street/US-29 intersection would begin
to ascend along the rear of this property. Because this property is surrounded by commercial
and industrial land uses and this retaining wall would be constructed near the rear of the
property, this change would not alter the views of this property. While these effects would
occur as a result of the proposed project, the alterations would not change the characteristics
which make it eligible for the National Register.
12.0 Closing
STV/RWA, on behalf of CATS, is requesting that the USCOE extend the timeframe for this
requested Individual Permit to a period of time beyond the standard five-year expiration date. Due
to the complexities of the proposed LYNX BLE, it is possible that unanticipated delays may occur
that would affect the project schedule. CATS is requesting an Individual Permit that is valid for ten
years to prevent any additional issues and delays if the project schedule were to be extended
beyond the currently planned completion of 2016.

18. Nature of Activity (Descriptlon of proJed, indude all features)
The Northeast Corridor is located within the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The proposed LYNX BLE would
be an extension of the LYNX Blue Line (formerly called the South Corridor Light Rail Project) light rail service that opened in November
2007. The proposed project would extend approximatsly 9.4 miles and provide 11 transit stations, including seven walk-up stations and
four stations with park-and-ride facilities, as well as a feeder bus system to support the light rail system. Plesse refer to Section 1.0 of the
Request for Individual Permit for more information.
19. Project Purpose (Des<xibe the reason or purpose of the project, see Instrucdo�)
The purpose of the proposed LYNX BLE is Lo ensure futwe mobility by providing a transportation altemative in a highly congested travel
wrridor and to support the regions land use policies and goals for a sustainable growth and development pattern. The proposed project
would provide high-capacity, fixed guideway transit service in the corridor. As an extension of the LYNX Blue Line, the proposed project
would enhance the opera6ng effecdveness of CA'TS light rail savice and leverage the public investrnent already made in the South
Corridor. As envisioned in the regions combined transit and land use plans, future development would be focused into areas that can
support new development or are in need of redevelopment and away from areas that cannot support new growth. the highest density
development would be encouraged around light rail stations. By focusing future growth in corridors with multiple travel alternatives, the
region would be able to grow in a manner that promotes condnued access and mobility and that enhances the quality of life for residents
and employees. Please refer to Section 3.0 of the Request for Individual Permit for more information.

The Department of the Interior (Depar�ment) has reviewed the Draft Environmental
Impact Sfafement (DE[S) and Section 4(f) Evaluation for the LYNX Blue Line
Extensi,an Northea�# Corridor.Light;Rail (LYNX BLE) ProJect, Northeast of
Ghar��tte„ Mec�C�e�iburg County, North Ca�rolina. The Depar�men� offers t�e.
� ,,
followirng com�ments for your consideratia�. �
General Comm�nfs
The �roject consists of constructin� an � �-mi[e exfens[on of the LYNX Blue �ine with 13
proposed stations. The Blue Line Extension wi[l extend from Ninth Street [n Center City
thraugh the North Da�idson (NoDa} and Uni�ersity ar�as to [-485 north of UNC
Char�otte. The service wilf operate generally wifhin the existing rai[road right of way from
Cen�er City to NoDa, then remain with[n tf�e Nort� Tryon_Street lUS 29} right-o#-way
from Ufd �ancord Roac{ nor�h to I-48�. A d�sign option, calieti �n� Light [�ail Alfiernaiive
— Sugar Cree�C Design Opfion, is also preser�ted and provides an alignmerit option with
two different station ]ocafions. A majority of fhe LYNX BL.E wifl be constr�cted in
previo�sly impactedlurbanized ar�as; howeve�, impacts to aquafic resources wil! accur.
Th� Light Rai� Afternative will result in 3,262 [inear feet (If} of stream impacts {about
23,256 sq�are #eet) and about '1.522 acras of wetland impact. The Light Rail Aiterr�afive
— Sugar Creek Design Option will resu[t in im�acts fo about 2,149 If of stream channel
(18,599 s��are fe�t) and about '[ .442 acres ofi wetfands, Both a[terna�i�es will impact
about 8;902 square feet of f�� FEMA f(oodway, Though it has less aquatic impacts
f�i�r� #he„Li�ht Rai[ Alt�rnati�e, the construction of the Sugar Creek Design Opfion would
result in an additiona� ex�et�diture,of about �$59 mEi[ion.

S�ecific Comments
Ground water
S�ctions 11.1.1, 'i'�.2.2.'I, and 11.3.1.9
The DEIS do�s not contain su�fficien# information on the area groundwater to support the
fin�ing o# no impact. Th� document does not contain informa�ion on the depth �o
groundwater, flow direction, aquifers currently used, nor th� quantity of wa#er wiihdrawn
for domestic and ��ablic water supply in the vicinity of the �rojeet. The document
indicates that i�t some places the water ta�fe may �e very shalfow (a few feet below
land surface), this increases the poiential #or contamination from spills cluring
� constructior� or operation. Th� [acat�on of domestic a�d pubfic water supply wells as far
as 2,OQ0 feet trom the ral co�ridor does not preclude contaminants from migrating
through ti�e gro�ndwater #o t�tese pum�ed wells. Ti�e Deparfinen# suggests that the
Final �IS address th� groundwater issue mare compfete�y.
Section 11.3.'� .1, Pg. 'I 1 �'! 2
The sfatement that "efforts will be implemented to r�dttce the �ffects .,. on
groundwat�r resources" implies t�►at effects wilf occur, yet none of these effec#s are
descri�ed in the DE1S. The Depariment sugg�sts that possible im�acts and mitigation
actions be docum�nted in fhe �'inal E1S. One possible source far informafion fha# might
be included in th� repor� is the USGS, NorEh Caro[ina Waier Science Cen�er
waterdata. usgs.gov/nclrtwisl).
Endangered Species
The Depar�mertt concurs wi�h #he DEIS conclusion t#�at no listed species occ�ar within
the projec# area. We do nof beiie�e any �ndangerecf or threatened species wifi be
affected by the proposed project; tY�er�fore, fhe requirements under Section 7 of ti�e Act
are fulfilfe�, Howe�er, obligations unde� Section 7 of the Act musf 6e reconsidered if:
(1 } r�ew ir�formation revea[s impacts of this [de�tified action that may affeci listed
species or crii�caf habifat �n a mar�ner not previous{y consiciered, {2) #his actior� is
subsequent�y modified i� a manner that was noi considered in fhis review, or (3} a new
species is [isted or crifical habitat is identified t�tat may be aff�cted �y fhe proposed
action.
Migratory Birds
The Migratory Bird Trea�y Act (16 U.S.C. 703-7� 2) proh�bits t�e taking, killing,
passessian, transpor#ation, and im�ortatian of migratory birds, iheir �ggs, par#s, and
nesfs, except when specificaily autharized by the D�partment, Impfementing
regulations define "take" under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as �o °pursue, hun�, shoot,
wound, kill, tra�, capture, pass�ss, or collect.° Unlike the Endangered Species Act,
neith�r fhe Migrafory Bird Treaty Act nor its impiementing regulations at 50 CF'R
Par� 21, provides for #h� permi�tir�g of "incid�ntaf take" of mEgra#ory �irds. To avoid

impacts to migratory birds, the Department recommends condueting a visual inspection
of migratory bird nest�ng habita# w�thin the project area during fhe nesting season of
March through Septem��r. If migratory birds are discovered nesting in the project
impact area, avoid impacting the nests during #he migratory bird nesting season (March
�hrough Se�t�mber). Ba[d and golden eagles are afforded additional le�af protecfion
under fhe Bafcf and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d).
Fis� and Witdlife Resources
The D�partment offers �he followi�g t�ecammendations to help adcfress the direct,
ir�dir�cf, and cumulative �mpacts that may be assaciated wiih this project an� �o hefp
mEnimize impacts to fish and wildfife reso�rces:
9. Use s�anning structures for al[ permanent roadway cross�ngs of streams
an� associated wetfands to minimize im�acts to aquafic r�sources, allow
tor the movement of aquatic organisms, and e[iminafe the �eec� to fifl and
install culverts, If culver�s are the oniy optian, we suggest using
bottomless culve�ts. Bottomless ct�fverts need not be buried, thereby
mEnimizing aci�erse impacts fo str�ams. The use of a cammon ra�a�d
culvert s�tould be a�ast resort, and it should be buried at [east a foot below
the natural sir�am�ed to alfow for proper water de�th and the mo�ement
of aqua�ic organisms. Ur�der no cir�cumstances shnuld stream-cnannel
widening for culver�s occur nor should riprap be placed i� the stream
ct�anneE. We also recommend that all wetlandlstream crossings be made
perpendicular to the stream.
2. Mainfain and/or restore wetlandlsfream buffers throug#�out the project
area. Forested riparian buffers, a minim�m of 100 feet wide alot�g
perennial streams and 50 feet wide afong intermittent streams, should be
created andlor maintainecf afong all a�t�atic areas. W� are cancerned
about impacts to any aqua#ic Y�ai�itat, i�icluding the removal of #h� riparian
zone, whECh may occur in the project area. Vegetafed areas afong stream
ar�d river banks a[low for a variety of exfremefy �afuable functions that
incfude providing fish and wi�d[ife habifat, moderating water tempera�ure,
stabilizing banEcs, [imiting eros�on, impraving water q�aiity hy filtering
pollutants anc[ �xcess n��rients from t�e water, and minimizi�g the
im�acts of f(ood events. Construction activities near streams, rivers, and
[akes have th� potentiai to cause water pollut�or� and stream degradation if
measures �o control erosio� an� sediment ar� not pro��rly ins�alfed and
main#aine�. Ta effectively re��c� erosian and sedimentation im�acts,
Best Management Practices should be designed, install�d, and
mai�tained d�ring Iand-disturbing activfties. A camplete d�sign manual,
which provides extensive details and proced�res for devefoping
3

site-specific pfans to control erosion and sedim�nt and is consistent with
the requiremer�ts of #he No�th Caro��na Sedimentatior� and Po[lution
Control Act and Adminisfrative Rules, is available ai:
http:llwww.dir.enr.state.r�c.uslpaqes/publieations.htm[. For maximum
benefits fo water ualit and �ank sta�iliz .�.. �....
q y ation, riparian areas should not
be mowed. We recommend plan�ing disturbed areas with natiWe riparian
species. 5uggested species include �lack locusi (on dry rocky banks),
silky wii[ow and/or black wllow (Salix s�p.), ald�r (Alnus spp.}, clog hobble
(Leucofhoe sp�.}, cane (At'undinaria giganfea), andlor rhododendron
{Rhadadendron cafawbiense} (not� r�f�r�nce �e[ow for additional
species). We can pro�ide informa�ion on poten�ial sources of plant
material �a�on request. �
3. Implemenf stringent measures ta ca�trol sediment and erosion prior to any
ground disturbance and maintain them thro��hoUt proj�ct construction.
Temporary (e.g., rye grain, wheat, milfef) or permanent herbaceous
vegetatior� shaulcf b� planted on al! bare soil within 5 days of
ground-disturbing acti�ities fo pro�icie long-ferm erosion con#ro[. Native
annual sma[1 grains and herbs appropriate for the season are
recommended. Biodegradable erosion-ca��rol matting shou(d �� used in
conjunction with appropriate seeding on �istt�rbed soils in st�ep slo�e and
riparian areas. Matfing sho�ld be secured i�t place with stap[es, stakes, or
live sfakes of native irees (whenever possib[e}.
4. Mair�iain a dry wor[c area for all worEc in or adjacent to the stream.
Sandbags, cofferdams, or other diversion strt�ctures should be used,
where possible, to prevent exca�at�on in fiowing water. These diversion
struct�ares should be ramo�ed immediatefy after t�e in-stream work is
finishe�.
5. Di�er� ditch water into a cpnstructed sump or, where possible, onto stable
forested vegetatior� that can filter sediment before fhe watar reaches the
straam. Side ditehes shou[d not be a[lowed to drain directly into the
stream. EnsUre that adequate crass drainage is in place before the
culvert a�proac}� to minimize the water volum� directed ir�to approach
ditches at c�lver� sites. Consider the use of roliing grades to �ivert
surface r�r�off from roads. Where cross ditches are used, ensure tha� th�y
are prop�rly armored at the outlet and along the base,
6. K�ep equipment oui of streams by operating firam t�e banks in a fashion
�hat minimizes disturbance to woody vegetatio�. [t should �e ins�ected
cfaily and maintainecl to �re�en# the contaminatioh of surFace waters from
�

leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. All fuels,
lubr[car�ts, and oth�r toxic materia[s shou(d be stored outside t�e ripar[an
management area of the sfream in a focatian where the material can be
containe�. Equipment sho�ld be c}�ecked for leaks of 1�ydrau[ic fluids,
coo[ing system liquids, and fuef and should b� cl�aned before fording any
stream. Also, all #ueling ope�ations shoc�ld be accomplished outside the
ripariar� managemeni area.
7. Keep wet concrete fram contacting the stream or any other water �haf has
the potent�al to �r�t�r the stream. Uncured concrete or grout can kill
aquafic organisms, including fish, by altering the pH of the water. Precast
concrete sho�Icl be usea td eliminate fhe risk to fish. [-[owever, when
casf-in-place concrete is required, ail work si�oUld be canciucted "in the
dry," and fhe site s�ould be effectively isolated from any water that may
enter the stream for a m�nim�m of 48 hours.
8. Minimize fhe amount of impervious surFace area that wfl[ result from this
project. We recommend #hat all parking areas be constructed of a
perv�ous ma�erial (i.e., �ervious concrete, inter[ockinglopen paving blocks,
etc.). Pervious matarials are less likely fo a�sarb and store heat and are
less likely fo allow th� caol�r t�mp�ratures of fhe earkh beEow to cool tF�e
pavemenf. Penrious concre�e a[so requires less maintenanc� and is less
suscept[ble to freeze/thaw cracking due to large void spaces within the
concre#e, Pervious parking areas minimize changes to the hydro�ogy of
�he watershed, can be Used to facilitate �roundwafer recharge, and often
eliminate the r�ead for curb and gUtter far drainage.
9. [mplement low-impact-de�e[opmen� designs in�o the project plans. Where
feas��le, we recammend that a rooftop garden, ar a"greer�" rooftop,
design �e ir�corporaied �nto any "statio�lbuilding" construction plans.
Green rooftops ha�e many benefits, including (a) �Ceeping buildings
warmer by addinc� a layer of insufation to the roof and keeping buifdings
coaler by al[owing pfants fo #aice in wafer that evaporates into the
atmosphere, res�lt�ng in [ower heatin� and cooling bills, {�) reducing the
amount and impro�ing #he quality of starm-water runoff because water is
absorbed and filtered thrau�h plants and soif; and {c} improving overall air
quality by remov�ng particulate matfer from fhe air. Th�s, along wifh the
proposed storm-water runoff collectior� devices that will be constructe�,
will dramatical�y decrease the amo�nt and increase the quality of
storm-water runof#.
Mifi�ation
Tl�e DEfS indicates fha� a C[ean �Nater Act 4041401 permit ap�lication (from the
U.S. Army Gorps of Engineers) wil] be submitted because streams or wetlands will �e
impacted. Any Clean 1Na�er Act �-09-1�401 permit applications should clearly show why

impacts are unavoida�[e and how impacts that are unavoida�le hav� �een minimized.
Unavoidable impacts wil� requi�e mitigatian. The DE1S also indicates tha� mi�igation wil!
b� provided by Char[otte`s Umbrella Stream and Wetiand Mitigation Barik. Our normaf
�rac�ice is to recommend t}�at all direcf impacfs ta both wetfands and streams be
mitigated with �he resforatior� of comparable on-s�t� streams and wetlands at a minimum
ratio of 2:1. Nowev�r, we are aware that many of the streams that will be impacted by
the proposed project are in "poor" cand�tion with fitfle or no aqua#ic resource vaf�e;
tF�erefore, we be[ieve a 1: � mitigatior� ratio for s�ream impacts wou[d �e sufficieni. From
aur recent experiences worki�g with the Gity of Char[otte, wa do not belie�e that the
Umbrefla Stream and Mitigation BanEc has enough credits to ofF-set the impacts of ttt[s
project. If the Mi#igation Bank does not have enaugh credits, and if an an-sitel[n-kind
mitigation plart cannot �e established, then we recommend a payment to the Norkh
Caro[ina Ecosyst�:m Enha��cement Program to compensate far ihe una�oidaE�[e
impacts. The same recommended rafio of 2:'[ for wetlands and 1:'f for streams sho�fd
be used to ca[cu[ate the paym�nt amount.
Section 4(� Resources
There are thr�e Sec#ion 4(f) resources in the area of po�entiaf effect: The Kirk Farm
Fields, Toby Creek Greenway (pfanr�ed}, and the Mallard Creek Greenway Extension
(�lanned).
The FederaE Transit Autf�ority and t�e Charfotte Area Transit system have coordinated
with the Mecklenburg County Par�cs a�d Recreatfon Depa�tment. Tha Director o# ihe

Dear Ms. Goforth:
Thank you fo� you�-letter of March 25, 2009, transmitting the archaeolo�;ical suivey report by Dennis Gosser
of Coastal Carolina Kesearch, Inc. for the above project. We have reviewed the report and offer the following
comments.
DurirAg Yhe course of the survey, no Native American ox �aistoric period archaealogical sites were located within
the area of potential effect (APE). One site, 31MK1075** was recarded within a proposed station location that
has since been eliminated from the project and will not be affected. Due to the a�sence af cuZtutal resources,
Mr. Gosser has recommended that no furthcr archaeological investigatian be conducted in connection with
this �roject. We concur with this recommendation since the project will not involve significant archaeological
resaurces.
The report meets our office's guadelines and those of the Sccretary of the Interior.
The above comments axe made pursuant to Section 106 af the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compiiance with Section 106 cadified at 3G CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for yaur cooperation and consideration. If yo�a have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Ciledhill-Farley, environmental review coordinator, at 919/807-6579. In all future

Dear Ms. Gledl�ill-Earley;
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Charlotte Area Transit Syskem (CATS) are
currently planning the 10.6 mile extension of the existing LYNX Blue Line light rail service to the
Northeast Corridor. The project is �roposed to be consiructed with local, state, and federal
funding. As such, an �nvironmental Impact Stat�ment (EIS), in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, is in the prvicess of being devefoped that will documer�t the potential
for impacts to historic resources. The project's impacts are also evaluafed pursuant to Section
1 Q6 and Section 4{�, a pro�ision of federal transportation law at Title �9, 11SC 303 that affords
certain �ratections to public parks, historic sites, and wildlife refuges.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preser�ation Act, on
1011/2009, you concurred with the determinations of No Effect and No Advers� Effect by the
LYNX Blu� Line Exkension I�ight Rail Project on historic resources. In additian, on 1I1112010,
you concurred with the No Effect determination for a second park and ride optiar� for the Sugar
Creek station.
Based on your No Adverse Effect �eterminations on these properties, de mimrmis impacts are
Pxpected for #he following resources:
• Orient Manufacturing CampanylChadwick Haskins No. 3{NR Listed) -- The histo�ic
baundary for th3s property extends into the exisking railroad right-of-way, awned by the
City of Charlokte. The light rail tracks would be constructed within khe exisiing righk-of-
way. Temporary use of the property during construction may occur. The uses would not
alker the characteristics for which this resource is listed on the National Register.
• North CharEofte Historic Districf (fVR Listed) -- The existing North Carolina Railroad
right-of-way lies within the historic district baundary. 7he light rail tracks would be added
at t�e location of the exisfing freighk tracks and t�e freight tracks would be si�ifted within
the existing right-of-way to the nflrkh. Ter�porary use of property during construction
would occur due ta khe grade separakion of 36th Street. The uses, p�rmanent and

• Herrin Brothers Coal and Ice Company Plant (NR Eligible) — The historic boundary
for this pTOperty extends into the existing North Caralina Railroad right-of-way. The
relocated freight tracks would be locate� within the existing railroad right-af-way. A
temporary conskruction easement would also be required. The uses would not �emolish
any structures and would not alter the characteristics which mak� it eligible for the
National Register.
• Standard Chernical Produc#s Plant (NR Eligible) — Permanent acquisition of minor
amounts of property for sid�walks and landscaping. Temparary use of property during
construction. The uses would not demolish any structures and would not alter the
characterisfics which make it eligible for fhe National Register.
• Republic Steel Corporation Plant (NR Eligible) (�ight Raii Alternative - Sugar CreeK
Design O�tion only) — Permaneni acquisitian of property for alignment wauld bisect
areas used for storage. Temporary use of property during consfruction. No demolition
of contributing resources or buildings. Access ko t�e site would not be restricted by t�e
pro�ect, except during constructior�. The uses would not demolish any structures anc4
would nok alter the characteristics which make it eligible for the Nationaf Register,
• General Motors Corporation Training Plant (NR �ligible) - Permanent acquisition of
minar amounts of property. Temporary use of property during construckion. The uses
would not �emolish any structures and would not alter the charackeristics which make it
eligible for khe National Register.
CATS is seeking your concurrence w�th these findings for inclus�an in the Draft �IS. Following
the release and public review of the Draft EIS, your concurrence wili permit FTA to conclude its
Section 4(f} responsibility, with respect to these resources, with a determination that the project
will have de mrnimr's impacts on these resources. If yau concur, please sign and date this letter

TIlfS letter is notify you of a design consideration for the subject projeet tha# invofves t�e Grinnell
Manufacturing Building, a contributing resource of the f�orth Chariotte Historic District. As presented in
the �valuakion o# �ffects report (Se�tember 4, 2009), portions of the proposed LYNX Blue Line Extension
Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX BL�) lie within the boundary of ihe IVorti� Chariofte Historic
District. Several act�ons including new track installation, new alignment, retaining walls, the depression of
36th Skreet, development of the 36th Sfreet Station, and consfruction of a new freight line and bridge
would occ�r near #o andlar within the area of the North Charlo#te Historie District. 4f particular note, and
the pur�ase of fhis letter, is ti�e proposed retaining wall that woufd be built along 36th Street, adjacent to
the Grinnefl Manufacfuring Building (see attached exhibik).
The tops of Tetaining wafls deflect, or rrtove slightfy when placed under laad. While normally not a
problern, further de�eloprrtent of our engineering analysis has determined that khe deflections of khe
previously proposed refaining wall along 36th Street could potenkially cause structural impacfs to the
GrinRell ManufacturiRg Building due to its close proxirnity. Ir� an effort ta protect ti�is hiskoric resource, the
LYNX 8LE engineering team e�aluated two fypes of suppor� systems for khe rekaining wall. The
conventional support system includes the use of a tieback system, which would intrude further onto the
Grinnell Manufacturing Building property an� could still result in some sligi�t movernent of the building.
The second type of support system evaluated is the use of an underpinning system beneath the
foundations of the building to support the building and protect if fram deflect+ons of the retaining waU.
Essentially, this techniqu� involves khe use of helical pier supports (i.e., steel supports with helix-shaped
bearing plates thak are screwed into the ground) beneath the foundations of the building. Rugged steel
galvanized helical piers would be installed in khe soil to fransfer the weight of the historic building onto
compekent, load-bearing strata or bedrock. Durir�g the installation, helical pier supports woufd be
mechanically screwed into the soif. Once appropriate depths and capacities are reached, a heauy-duty
steel foundation bracket would be connected to the piers and secured ko the building foundation's footing
(see Figures 1 and 2 in the attached exi�ibit). The weight of the building would then carefully be
transferred to the piers and anto the compekent soils below, preventing any future settlement of ti�e
buiiding. It should be nated that while this technique waulci require a physical aktachment to fhe buiiding,
its purpase is to protect the building from damage and it is located completely underground. Use of the
underpinning system could allow for a slightly thinner wall, but the overall length and height would be the
sarr�e as previously shown. From the building and street viewshed, there would be no noticeable
difference in the wall from what has been proposed to date.

CATS would nok req�ire permanent acquistion of any of the properly, including any porEion of t�e Grinnell
Manufacturing Building. However, addikional temporary construction easements would be needed for
instalfation of the foundation brackeks. It is ankicipated khat un�erpinning would need ko be placed around
the en#ire side of the building that faces 36ti� Street, and pateniially up to a�proximately 20 additional feet
along tha per�endicular faces of the building (see attached ex�ibit). It is ankicipated that an approximake
5-foot temporary construction easement would be r�eeded beneath the building for subsurface
construction in fhese three areas. While no additional temporary construction easement woufd be needed
on t�e exterior of the builcfing along 36ti� Street (because the property �oundary is located aEong the
exterior of ti�e building}, a tem�orary construction easement of approximately 10 feet would be needed
along the exterior perpendicular faces of ti�e building in fhe area of underpinning. The atkached exhibit
shows a plan view of the proper#y and a typical section showing the proposed easements and the building
foundation underpinning.
As detailed, the proposed action would not result in negative impacts to fhe Grinnell Manufacturfng
Building. As such, we feel tha# the previously-determined Finding of No Adverse Effect for the North
Charlotte Hisforic Disfrict is still �alid. Additionally, based on this No Adverse Effect determination, it is the
intent of the Federal Transit Administraiion to make a de miriimis Section 4(� finding for the North
Chariokte Historic District as the proposed acEian does not constitute a constructi�e use of the proper#y.
We ap�reciaie the opportunity to consult with you on the effects of the project an historic resources. If you
agree with the determinations documented in fhis letter, nameiy No Adverse Effec# to t3�e North Charlotte
Historic Dis#rict, we look fann+ard to receiving yaur concurrence on the line below. If, however, you
disagree, or require any additional information, please da rtot hesitate ta contaci me at (704} 336-3513.

Subject: Reassessment of National Register Eligibility — Mecklenburg Mill Trestle
LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
STV/RWA Project 2513745
Dear Ms. Goforth:
STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates (STV/RWA) has completed a review of the timber trestle located
behind (north ofl the Mecklenburg Mill in the North Charlotte Historic District for the referenced project.
Our findings and conclusions are as follows:
Backqround
Background research was conducted prior to and in conjunction with field investigations. Sources
consulted include the following:
• National Register listing for the Mecklenburg Mill
• Local Historic Landmark Commission records
• Sanborn maps
• Railroad valuation maps
• Railroad maintenance records
Field Survev
Field surveys were conducted by structural engineers from STV/RWA and historians from Mattson
Alexander & Associates between November 16, 2011 and November 22, 2011. The field investigators
examined the timber trestle, obtained measurements and photographs, and assessed the overall
condition of the trestle.
Findinqs
Original Structure
• According to the North Charlotte Historic District National Register nomination, the original
structure was constructed in 1905 around the time that the Mecklenburg Mill was constructed
(1903-1905).
• Coal was delivered to the Mecklenburg Mill via a rail spurline A spur track was located behind the
Mecklenburg Mill and the coal trestle was located at the end of this bermed track (see Exhibit 1).

• Further details of the original structure, including original plans and maintenance records are not
available. However, it is typical for timber components to be replaced every 40 to 50 years and for
ties and guardrails to be replaced every 20 to 25 years.
Existing Structure
• Dimensions
o The trestle measures approximately 72.5' long, and is comprised of 6 spans and 7
substructure units (Exhibit 2).
o The stringers are comprised of three 9"x16" timbers. The two stringers are approximately
5' on centers.
o The cap is 12"x12"x12' long (Exhibit 3)
o The piles are 12"x12" timbers
o There is typically one cross support member that measures 2.5"x8"
o The outer two piles are battered, the inside two piles are plumb.
Condition
o Most of the architectural and historical integrity has been lost. Only a vestige (the
substructure), remains. The steel track rail and crossties have been removed from the top
of the trestle. The walkway/platform for accessing the rail cars and/or conveyor
equipment has also been removed.
o The structural integrity of the timber on the existing trestle is fair, though there is some
section loss in spots (Exhibits 4 and 5). Timber dating to 1905 would have experienced
severe deterioration after more than 100 years of exposure to the elements.
o The current structure would require significant structural upfit to allow the trestle to return
to its original function of carrying train cars.
o There is a sill beam that the piles connect to at ground level (Exhibit 6). Sill beams are
typically placed on top of old piles that have been cut at ground level due to rot. As such,
the sill beam serves as evidence that the existing structure is not the original structure.
o Based on the condition of the timber, the estimated age of the existing trestle is
approximately 50 to 55 years (circa mid 1950s to early 1960s).
o A modern cooling tower is on top of the stringers above spans 1 and 2(Exhibit 7).
o There is a portion of a conveyor on the stringers above spans 3 and 4(Exhibit 8). The
conveyor, manufactured by the Kewaunee Machinery and Conveyor Belt Company, is
likely a mid-twentieth century addition.
o Much of the trestle is covered in unmaintained vegetative overgrowth (Exhibit 9).
o The single track behind the Mecklenburg Mill has been removed (Exhibit 10). The spur
track between the main track and timber trestle is also no longer there (Exhibit 11).
Assessment of Eliqibilitv and Inteqritv
Much of the trestle's integrity of design, workmanship, and materials has been lost through deterioration
and alterations. Only a vestige of the trestle, the substructure, remains somewhat intact, and according
to the engineers' field inspections and typical maintenance schedules, even the substructure appears to
be a 1950s or 1960s replacement. The steel track rail and crossties have been removed from the top of
the trestle, and the walkway/platform for accessing the rail cars and/or conveyor equipment has
collapsed. A portion of the conveyor, manufactured by the Kewaunee Machinery and Conveyor Belt Co.
of Illinois, remains, but it, too, appears to be a mid-20th century addition. Furthermore, the trestle has lost
much of its integrity of setting, association, and feeling. The setting is heavily overgrown, and the loss of
the spurline tracks obscures the original feeling and the association of the trestle to the mill.
The coal trestle for the Mecklenburg Mill was listed as a contributing resource to the North Charlotte
Historic District, the period of significance for which ended in 1939. The trestle was altered significantly
after 1939, outside the period of significance, with a replacement substructure and the removal or
collapse of trackage and the walkway/platform. Because the trestle has lost most of the seven aspects of
integrity needed for eligibility, the principal investigators recommend that the trestle no longer contributes
to the North Charlotte Historic District.

Conclusion
Based on the information presented in this letter, STV/RWA, in conjunction with Mattson, Alexander and
Associates, Inc., has determined that the subject trestle is not the original 1905 trestle and that the existing
timber substructure is a replacement that postdates the period of significance for the North Charlotte Historic
District. The coal trestle's platform, deck, and railing are ruinous or now gone. The main delivery track and
the railroad spur have both been removed, obscuring the original design and function of the system.
Therefore, we recommend that the trestle no longer contributes to the North Charlotte Historic District.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact us.

Attachment F - Alternatives Analvsis
This Alternatives Analysis for the LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX
BLE) Individual Permit application was prepared using the detailed information that is found in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) completed in August 2011 that has been prepared for the project.
Alternative transportation systems for the Charlotte region have been under consideration for the past 17
years, with the final decision to pursue a light rail transit system made by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Planning Commission in 1994. Rail line alignments for the LYNX light rail transit system have been under
consideration for the past 13 years, with the South Corridor LYNX Blue Line light rail alignment set 11
years ago. The LYNX Blue Line along the South Corridor opened for service at the end of 2007. The
requirement to extend the light rail service from the existing LYNX terminus at the 7th Street Station
limited the available alternative alignments that were considered for the LYNX BLE. A summary of the
timeline and decision making for the transit alternatives considered for the Charlotte region follows:
In 1994, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission adopted the Centers and Corridors Concept
Plan, a vision to modify the region's existing growth patterns by concentrating development and
redevelopment in five radial corridors extending from Center City Charlotte out to the Mecklenburg
County line: South, North, Northeast, Southeast and West Corridors. The overall goal was to make the
best use of existing and future infrastructure investments by focusing growth. The plan identified a
county-wide rapid transit system that included rapid transit service in each of the identified corridors
where existing interstate infrastructure is already present and where growth should be focused. The
Northeast Corridor is one of the corridors identified in the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan. [This plan
was recently updated to the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework, Draft January 2010.]
In 1998, the 20251ntegrated Transit/Land Use Plan advanced the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan a
step further by evaluating specific transit options (alignment/mode) and outlined land use initiatives that
were intended to promote the focusing of development in the transit emphasis corridors. The guiding
principle for plan implementation was a mutually supportive strategy linking transit and land use
decisions. The plan recommended rail in the South and North corridors and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in
the Northeast, Southeast and West corridors. This plan was the basis for a public referendum for
implementing a'/-percent sales tax increase to fund the plan's transit/land use concepts. Although the
20251ntegrated Transit/Land Use Plan identified a preferred strategy for each of the five corridors, it was
recommended that the final alignment and a modal technology be determined through a more detailed
Major Investment Study (MIS) process for each corridor. In 1999, Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS)
initiated their first MIS on the South Corridor to begin implementation of the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land
Use Plan.
The South Corridor MIS was completed in 2000 resulting in the selection of a light rail transit alignment as
the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). That project, now called the LYNX Blue Line, began revenue
service in November 2007.
Between 2000 and 2002, CATS completed MIS documents for the North, Northeast, Southeast and West
corridors to examine a full range of transportation alternatives. The LPA selected for the Northeast
Corridor at the conclusion of the MIS was light rail between Center City Charlotte and the University of
North Carolina Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) to Interstate 485 (I-485) and BRT between the University Area
to Concord. The results of the Northeast Corridor MIS, along with the other corridor MIS documents, were
incorporated into the regional long-range transportation planning process and adopted in the 2025
Corridor System Plan.
In 2004, CATS moved forward with the conceptual engineering of the light rail element of the MIS LPA.
This phase allowed for a more detailed analysis of the Preferred Alternative and resulted in refinements to
the proposed alignment and station locations. During this time, CATS, along with the Charlotte
Department of Transportation (CDOT), City of Charlotte Engineering & Property Management (E&PM),
City of Charlotte Economic Development Office (EDO) and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning
Department (Planning), worked to refine the alignment and identify station locations for the proposed
LYNX BLE.

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
A Refined Locally Preferred Alternative (R-LPA) was adopted by CATS' governing board, the
Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), in June 2006. The R-LPA incorporated alignment refinements
that occurred between 2004 and 2006, prior to the adoption of the updated 2030 Transit Corridor System
Plan in November 2006. The updated plan remains consistent with the land use plans and policies set
forth in the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan as well as the 20251ntegrated Transit/Land Use Plan.
In November 2007, CATS received Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approval to initiate the next
phase of project development, Preliminary Engineering. As part of the Preliminary Engineering phase,
further refinements were made to the LPA. The plans continue to be consistent with the recently updated
Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework Draft, January 2010. On October 28, 2009, the MTC
adopted the proposed LPA as described and evaluated in the Final EIS. The LPA included 13 stations
and was approximately 10.7 miles long.
The following sections describe the process of identifying, evaluating and refining alternatives for the
LYNX BLE in previous studies. The selection of the LPA by the MTC and the refinement of the LPA in
subsequent engineering phases are described.
Early Alternatives Considered in the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan
The 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan, completed in 1998, involved an initial study of rapid transit
improvements for all of the corridors identified in the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan. Initially, a full
range of alternatives was developed for each corridor and these alternatives were based on field work,
professional assessments of appropriate technologies and alignments and community input. The number
and type of modes and alignments were then narrowed to one rail option and one BRT option for each
corridor. The selection of the two options was based on an evaluation of each candidate's potential to
shape future growth, capital cost, ease of implementation and potential environmental or social fatal
flaws.
For the Northeast Corridor (called the University Corridor in the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan),
the following BRT and rail options were selected:
• BRT Alternative: Center City Charlotte to UNC Charlotte via Graham Street, I-85 and Mallard Creek
Church Road.
• Rail Alternative: Center City Charlotte to UNC Charlotte via the Norfolk Southern "O" line to Derita,
the IBM rail spur to University Research Park and a new alignment extending east to the UNC
Charlotte campus.
The initial range of alternatives included: BRT options that used W.T. Harris Boulevard; University City
Blvd./NC-49; North Tryon Street/US-29; the IBM rail spur rail options that used the North Carolina
Railroad (NCRR); and University City Blvd./NC-49. These options were not considered promising for the
Northeast Corridor.
The rail and BRT options selected for each corridor were refined and subjected to additional evaluation.
Measures included potential job and household growth for each option, capital cost, capital cost-per-mile,
ridership, long-term need for congestion relief and long-term land use opportunities. Following the
evaluation, a single conceptual alternative was recommended for each corridor based on what would best
support focused development in the region.
In the Northeast Corridor, the plan recommended BRT as an efficient and cost effective option for serving
existing centers and supporting future development opportunities in the corridor. A more detailed MIS was
recommended to study both BRT and rail alternatives for the corridor.
Alternatives Considered in the Northeast Corridor Major Investment Study
The Northeast Corridor Major Investment (MIS) Study was initiated in 2000 to advance the
recommendations of the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan and the Centers and Corridors Concept
Plan and to conduct a more detailed study of rail transit and modal alternatives for the Northeast Corridor.
A Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS was published by the FTA on September 29, 2000. A comprehensive

range of rail/transit modes was considered for the study, including BRT, light rail, streetcar and commuter
rail.
Alternatives were initially developed based on recommendations from the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land
Use Plan and suggestions made during the scoping process initiated at the beginning of the study. The
initial list of alternatives was screened to eliminate those alternatives that were "fatally flawed" from an
engineering or environmental perspective or would be unlikely to meet project goals and objectives. The
remaining alternatives were carried forward for more detailed evaluation in the MIS.
The alternatives carried forward for detailed evaluation after the initial screening are listed in Table 1.
Three modal alternatives — BRT, light rail and streetcar — were included. Some of these modes were
considered on different alignments. The commuter rail alternative was eliminated from further
consideration because it was decided the mode could not adequately serve the current and future
planned activity centers in the Northeast Corridor. The right-of-way available for commuter rail service is
located at the eastern edge of the corridor and is heavily used by existing freight and passenger services.
Moreover, commuter rail technology is more appropriate for longer distance trips (25 to 60 miles and
beyond) with infrequent stops than for the kind of service needed in the Northeast Corridor.

Notes: 'Alternative numbering begins with NE-2, because the initial list of alternatives included a No-Build Alternative (NE�1) and a
Transportation System Management (TSM) Alternative (NE-2). During FTA coordination, it was agreed that the No-Build and TSM
alternatives would be replaced by a single Baseline Alternative for the Northeast Corridor MIS.
ZThis alternative is a modified version of the BRT alternative recommended in the 20251ntegrated Transit/Land Use Plan. Source:
Northeast Corridor Major Investment Study, 2002.
Alternatives were evaluated to determine how well each supported regional land use, mobility,
environmental, financial and system development goals. Prime considerations included the following:
• Support for existing land use patterns;
• Potential for future transit-oriented development;
• Estimated ridership;
• Travel time savings;
• Connections to activity centers and event sites;
• Support for regional air quality goals;
• Potential for effects on the built and natural environments;
• Capital and operating costs;
• The ability to function as part of an overall regional system; and,
• Engineering feasibility and equity of service.
Alternatives Analysis Page 3 Rev. 00

LYNX

The detailed evaluation results showed that the key differences between alternatives were a function of
support for future development patterns, anticipated ridership and costs. Environmental and system
development considerations were not differentiators because all alternatives would have minimal to no
affect on the built and natural environments, as well as comparable air quality and system development
benefits.
The BRT alternatives would serve existing land use patterns better than the light rail alternatives, but light
rail would have more potential to support the desired shape of future development called for in the 2025
Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan. The BRT alternatives would have more total available land to develop
but less transit-oriented development potential. The light rail alternatives, on the other hand, would yield
more land use and economic development advantages because they would have better pedestrian
access, a better mix of uses and more transit-oriented development potential. The relative costs of
alternatives were varied but the multi-modal alternatives were generally more expensive to build and
operate. All alternatives were found to have similar order-of-magnitude costs.
Selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative and Adoption of a Transit Corridor System Plan
Guided by the Northeast Corridor MIS findings and the land use, mobility, environment, financial, and
system development goals, the MTC selected an LPA for high capacity transit in the Northeast Corridor
on November 20, 2002. The LPA combined light rail and BRT elements studied in the MIS. The light rail
portion of the LPA (Alignment NE-4 in the MIS) would extend the LYNX Blue Line light rail from Center
City Charlotte to the I-485 vicinity near the county line. The BRT portion was planned to serve the
University Research Park and Concord Mills, connecting to the light rail line at UNC Charlotte. To lower
capital costs, the BRT portion of the LPA was a reduced version of what was considered in the MIS.
Together, the light rail and BRT elements were planned to serve the multiple markets in the Northeast
Corridor.
The primary purpose of the LPA and the regional transit system defined in the adopted 2025 Corridor
System Plan was to promote the Centers and Corridors Concept Plan vision of corridor-focused
development and provide an alternative to driving. The intention of the selected LPA is to enrich key
activity centers and leverage investments in the transportation system. Light rail was selected as the
primary component of the LPA because it has more potential for transit oriented development in the
Northeast Corridor than BRT. Therefore, light rail would better support the region's Centers and Corridors
Concept Plan vision and implement the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan. A light rail extension
would also improve the operational effectiveness of the existing LYNX Blue Line light rail service in the
South Corridor and leverage the investment already made by CATS.
Conceptual Engineering LPA Refinements
In the summer of 2004, the light rail component of the LPA was advanced to a conceptual engineering
phase, based on a Memorandum of Understanding between CATS and FTA. This advancement of the
proposed project allowed CATS to achieve the following:
• Obtain more detail-oriented level engineering mapping;
• Identify specific station locations and provide for greater transit-oriented station area development;
• Continue public involvement efforts and refine the alignment based on further public and agency
comment; and,
• Minimize or avoid environmental impacts along the corridor.
As more planning, environmental and engineering data was developed, it was necessary to make
refinements to the alignment to reflect updated conditions and to identify the best project alignment to
advance into future phases of project development. Representatives from CATS, their engineering
consultants, City Departments, and the City's station area planning consultants worked collaboratively to
identify the best station locations and refine the alignment. The refinements included the addition of a
light rail station that would directly serve the UNC Charlotte campus and terminating the line south of I-
485. Details of alignment refinements can be found in the Re�ned LPA Report (August 2007).
Alternatives Analysis Page 4 Rev. 00

Blue Line
Extension
In addition to the internal coordination that occurred within the City Departments, CATS continuously
solicited public input on each station location and alignment refinement as the design progressed. See
the Final EIS Chapter 22.0: Public Involvement and Agency Coordination for additional detail.
Adoption of a R-LPA and an Updated Transit Corridor System Plan
On June 28, 2006, the MTC adopted the R-LPA for the Northeast Corridor. This R-LPA, along with the
refined LPA's for the other corridors being studied by CATS, was incorporated into the agency's 2030
Transit Corridor System Plan that was adopted by the MTC on November 15, 2006. The 2030 Transit
Corridor System Plan includes the prioritization of the region's transit projects, a plan for implementation
based on updated capital cost estimates and the source of funding for each transit corridor.
Preliminary Engineering LPA Refinements
In November 2007, the FTA approved CATS' application to enter into the Preliminary Engineering phase
of project development and these activities started immediately thereafter. Due to the overwhelming
success of the LYNX Blue Line light rail, it was apparent that the proposed LYNX BLE project needed to
re-examine some key design decisions in order to accommodate higher projected ridership, and to reflect
new projects in the area. These considerations, as well as input received during public meetings and in
coordination with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), NCRR, Carolinas Medical
Center—University, UNC Charlotte and Norfolk Southern (NS), led to additional refinements of the
alignment and station locations during preliminary engineering. These refinements are described in the
supporting Refinement of Alternatives Report (July 2010), and were adopted by the MTC on April 22,
2009 and October 28, 2009. Following public input, refinements to the LPA remained consistent with
CATS' adopted 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan. The LPA is represented in this document as the
Preferred Alternative and is based on 30% Preliminary Engineering Design Plans, completed in March
2010.
As part of it adoption of the R-LPA in 2006, the MTC determined that a design option for the Sugar Creek
area should be studied further. In 2008, CATS, in partnership with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning
Department and the City of Charlotte's Economic Development Office, conducted an Alternatives
Analysis on the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option. This study is available under
separate cover as the CATS Blue Line Extension Sugar Creek and North Carolina Railroad Alignment
Alternatives Study (February 2009). In late 2008, CATS presented the study findings to public and the
MTC. The results of this Alternative Analysis and additional detail on the potential environmental impacts,
including costs, are provided throughout the EIS. This information will document the examination of the
design option and allow additional public comment.
Definition of Alternatives
The following alternatives are described in this section:
• The No-Build Alternative, in which no changes to transportation service or facilities would be
implemented in the corridor beyond already committed projects;
• The TSM Alternative, in which low to medium cost improvements to the operations of the CATS local
bus service would be implemented, in addition to the currently planned transportation improvements
in the corridor;
• The Preferred Alternative, in which light rail would be constructed between Center City Charlotte and
I-485 near the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus County line, primarily using existing railroad rights-of-way and
North Tryon Street/US-29. The light rail line would be constructed as an extension of the existing
LYNX Blue Line light rail line; and
• The Liqht Rail Alternative — Suqar Creek Desiqn Option, a design option for the light rail alignment
between Sugar Creek Road and Old Concord Road and the two stations located in this segment.
It was determined that the TSM Alternative did not meet the Purpose and Need of the proposed project.
Therefore, only the No-Build and Preferred Alternatives were evaluated in the LYNX BLE Final EIS.

No-Build Alternative
The No-Build Alternative includes: transit services; highway and transit facilities; and railroad
improvements that are planned to exist in 2030. The No-Build Alternative provides the underlying
foundation for comparing the travel benefits and environmental impacts of the other alternatives. The No-
Build Alternative includes:
• The existing highway network;
• Highway improvements that NCDOT has scheduled in the State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP);
• Highway improvements from the financially constrained 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan;
• Roadway improvements in the City of Charlotte's 25-year Transportation Action Plan;
• Existing transit routes and schedules as of January 2009;
• Other new bus services to which CATS has committed, including expansion of bus services in the
other rapid transit corridors;
• New bus services to serve areas that would be developed by 2030; and
• Routine replacement of existing transit facilities and equipment at the end of their useful life.
The transit component of the No-Build Alternative includes light rail and bus service expansion. Transit
services under the No-Build Alternative represent the existing transit services, planned expansion of
existing bus services, plus more frequent light rail service in the South Corridor. For the No-Build
Alternative, one new route would add service in the Northeast Corridor. Several other existing routes in
the corridor would have more frequent service. Table 2 shows the bus service operating in the Northeast
Corridor for the No-Build Alternative.

TSM Alternative
The TSM Alternative is a low capital cost approach for addressing the need for transit improvements in
the Northeast Corridor. Under federal guidelines, it provides the baseline for evaluating the cost-
effectiveness of the build alternatives. The TSM Alternative includes the highway and transit
improvements associated with the No-Build Alternative in the Northeast Corridor, along with additional
service and facilities to improve service along the Northeast Corridor to Center City Charlotte and
University City. These improvements include two skip-stop bus routes. Skip-stop services operate with
fewer stops than local routes to minimize travel times. One skip-stop service route would deviate from
North Tryon Street/US-29 and follow I-85 into Center City Charlotte. The second skip-stop service route
would begin at the I-485/N. Tryon Station and travel along North Tryon Street/US-29 into Center City
Charlotte. Skip-stop bus service improvements include revisions or additions to the existing bus service,

upgraded stops with ticket vending machines and closed circuit televisions, bus queue jumpers at select
intersections (including signal prioritization), and the construction of seven new park-and-ride lots with
pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Additionally, two signals would be installed at the University City Blvd.
and I-485/N. Tryon Street park-and-ride lots. This alternative also assumes the procurement of hybrid
buses to reduce air quality emissions, as well as upgrades to the existing CATS South Tryon Street Bus
Maintenance Facility to provide space for the additional bus fleet. No changes to transit service outside
the corridor would be made. Table 3 shows the proposed bus service improvements and Table 4 shows
the park-and-ride locations for the TSM Alternative.

Scope Reduction
In November 2010, subsequent to the circulation of the Draft EIS (August 2010), the MTC received a
report on the financial capacity of CATS and its ability to deliver the 2030 Transit System Plan. Based on
the analysis presented, it was determined that the LYNX BLE proposal could not be achieved due to
financial constraints. In order to advance the LYNX BLE, the financial capacity study recommended a
reduction in the projected capital and operating costs of the proposed project. The MTC directed CATS
staff to reduce the project scope by 20 percent and reduce the operating and maintenance costs by
approximately 6.5 percent. It was determined that additional cost savings could also be captured by
accelerating the project schedule to begin revenue service in 2016.
Extensive coordination was undertaken with partner departments, UNC Charlotte, NCDOT and the FTA.
In order to reduce the capital and operating costs, the following changes were recommended:
• Reduce project length by 1.2 miles, terminating at the UNC Charlotte Station and eliminating the
Mallard Creek Church Road Station and I-485/N. Tryon Station (yielding lower capital costs)
• Reduce service frequency by operating 2-car trains every 7.5 minutes initially and 3-car trains
every 10 minutes by 2035 (yielding lower operating and maintenance costs)
• Reduce number of vehicles to be purchased from 26 to 18 (yielding lower capital costs and lower
operating and maintenance costs; feasible by reduction of the project length and change in
operating plan, which reduces the vehicle requirement)
• Eliminate the Vehicle Light Maintenance Facility at the existing Norfolk Southern Intermodal Yard;
construct a storage yard only at the existing Norfolk Southern Intermodal Yard and make minor
improvements to the existing South Boulevard Light Rail Facility (yielding lower capital costs)
• Construct surface lots at the Sugar Creek Station instead of a parking garage (yielding lower
capital costs)
• Eliminate park-and-ride facilities at Tom Hunter Station (a Value Engineering recommendation
made in July 2010) and McCullough Station (yielding lower capital costs)
Terminating the proposed project at the UNC Charlotte Station would result in an estimated $92 million in
net savings. A large part of the savings is attributed to the elimination of approximately 1.1 miles of mostly
bridge structure that crosses wetlands/streams and a grade separation of Mallard Creek Church Road. In
addition, the changes at the Sugar Creek Station result in an estimated net savings of $9 million. The
reduction in vehicle fleet size results in a savings of approximately $38 million, with a savings of $26
million attributed to the reduction in the Vehicle Light Maintenance Facility needs. The overall net savings
resulting from the listed changes is approximately $165 million. By shortening the project, CATS is able to
keep key project elements that ensure a high quality system, reliable service, and safe and secure
operations. Despite elimination of the 2,000 space parking garage at the I-485/N.Tryon Station, it was
determined that approximately 90 percent of ridership would be retained and that most of the ridership
would redistribute to other nearby stations, namely the JW Clay Blvd. Station and the University City Blvd.
Station. To accommodate increased ridership at these two stations, the proposed project now includes
increased parking (approximately 1,485 spaces) in a parking deck at the University City Blvd. Station and
the addition of a parking deck (approximately 690 spaces) at the JW Clay Blvd. Station. Approximately
$40 million in budget was retained to replace the parking previously proposed for the I-485/N. Tryon
Station. Additionally, a right/through lane along North Tryon Street/US-29 from Orchard Trace to
Shopping Center Drive has been added to accommodate the additional traffic that would result from the

University City Blvd. Station park-and-ride facility.
A public meeting was held on January 12, 2011 at the Oasis Shriner's Center to review these proposed
changes and gather input from the public (see the Final EIS Chapter 22.0: Public Involvement and
Agency Coordination for additional detail). The proposed project changes were generally accepted by the
public, and on January 26, 2011 the MTC approved a revised LPA alignment and station locations for the
proposed LYNX BLE. Based on this approval, the proposed project would now terminate at the UNC
Charlotte Station rather than at I-485/N. Tryon Station, removing approximately 1.2 miles of the alignment
and two stations.
Selection of the Preferred Alternative
Following circulation of the Draft EIS (August 2010) and the MTC's approval of the revised LPA, a NEPA
Preferred Alternative was selected. The revised LPA is the NEPA preferred alternative. The NEPA
Preferred Alternative is that which causes the least damage to the biological and physical environment,
while best protecting, preserving and enhancing historic, cultural and natural resources.
It was determined that the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would result in less impact
on jurisdictional streams and wetlands than the Preferred Alternative, and would avoid noise and vibration
impacts to properties along Leafmore Drive and St. Anne's Place. However, the Light Rail Alternative —
Sugar Creek Design Option would result in additional impacts to several other resources, including:
• Historic resources: The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would directly impact the
Republic Steel Corporation property, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
Human resources: The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would require significantly
more acquisitions and displacement of businesses. Approximately 10 more business displacements,
19 more partial acquisitions and six more full acquisitions than the Preferred Alternative would result.
• Visual resources: The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would result in two more
potential visual and aesthetic impacts than the Preferred Alternative. Specifically, there would be
greater visual impacts along North Tryon Street/US-29 from Dorton Street to Old Concord Road; and
there would be a greater negative visual impact to the Republic Steel Corporation property.
• Financial resources: Capital costs for the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would
be greater than for the Preferred Alternative. The 15 Percent Cost Estimate indicated that the Light
Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would be approximately $57.9 million greater than the
Preferred Alternative due to the grade separation required over Eastway Drive and the additional
right-of-way acquisition and relocations.
Therefore, it was determined that the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would be
eliminated from further consideration and that the revised LPA would carry forward as the NEPA
Preferred Alternative. As such, only the revised LPA was evaluated in the LYNX BLE Final EIS and is
referred to as the Preferred Alternative.
It has been determined that the Preferred Alternative will impact all of seasonal RPW Stream P(1,666
linear feet), which would not have been impacted by the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design
Option. The Preferred Alternative also will impact a portion of Wetland E(0.057 acre) that may not have
been impacted by the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option. The Light Rail Alternative —
Sugar Creek Design Option would have impacted all of perennial RPW Stream S(211 linear feet), but
would have avoided impacts to seasonal RPW Stream P and possibly Wetland E. Therefore, the LPA
impacts more linear feet of stream (1,455 linear feet) and possibly more wetland (0.057 acre) than the
Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option. It has been determined however, that the Preferred
Alternative's impacts to streams and wetlands is necessary to avoid the impacts to historic and visual
resources, as well as the additional costs associated with the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design
Option.

Alternatives Considered in the Final EIS
The following alternatives were included in the Final EIS:
The No-Build Alternative, in which no changes to transportation service or facilities would be
implemented in the corridor beyond already committed projects;
The TSM Alternative, in which low to medium cost improvements to the operations of the CATS local
bus service would be implemented, in addition to the currently planned transportation improvements
in the corridor; and
The Preferred Alternative, in which light rail would be constructed between Center City Charlotte and
UNC Charlotte, primarily using existing railroad rights-of-way and North Tryon Street/US-29. The light
rail line would be constructed as an extension of the existing LYNX Blue Line light rail line.
The TSM Alternative was used in the Draft EIS (August 2010) as a baseline alternative for comparison in
the Evaluation of Alternatives Chapter, as required under the FTA's New Starts program, and is also used
in the Final EIS for the same purpose. It was determined in the Draft EIS (August 2010) that the TSM
Alternative does not meet the Purpose and Need of the proposed project. Therefore, only the No-Build
and Preferred Alternatives were evaluated in the Final EIS.
Preferred Alternative
The proposed Preferred Alternative would begin in Center City Charlotte at the terminus of the CATS'
LYNX Blue Line light rail line near 7th Street and extend 9.4 miles northeast to UNC Charlotte. The
proposed Preferred Alternative would include bus services to support and supplement the light rail
system. The trackway would be configured with two tracks, one for northbound service and one for
southbound service. The proposed project would generally exist within either existing railroad or roadway
right-of-way. Some portions would be elevated up and over existing freight tracks, roads or other
geographic constraints. In one location, the tracks would be depressed under an existing road. The
Preferred Alternative and a design option called the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option,
are described in more detail in the following sections.
Alignment
The Preferred Alternative alignment was identified by the MTC as the LPA, or preferred route, for the
proposed project. One design option presented in this Draft EIS that deviates from the base alignment of
the Preferred Alternative is known as the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option.
The proposed Preferred Alternative would begin at the northern terminus of the existing LYNX Blue Line
light rail at 7th Street in Center City Charlotte and would follow the former railroad right-of-way north
through Center City Charlotte. The right-of-way is owned by the City of Charlotte up to 12th Street and
was purchased for transit use in 1998. The proposed Preferred Alternative would then travel at the
existing street level and gated light rail crossings would be used at 7th Street, 8th Street, 9th Street, the
proposed 10th Street, and 12th Street.
A single track is located between 7th and 9th Street, and a Trolley station is located at 9th Street. The
LYNX Blue Line provides light rail service to the 7th Street Station but utilizes the track between 7th and
9th Street to stage extra vehicles for special events. The proposed Preferred Alternative would eliminate
the Trolley station at 9th Street.
North of 12th Street, the proposed alignment would transition up a retaining wall and onto a bridge in
order to pass over the existing CSX Corporation (CSX) rail line, and then return to ground level just
before 16th Street. The proposed Preferred Alternative would cross 16th Street at the existing street level
with a gated light rail crossing. The alignment would then shift south and run between the southern edge
of the Norfolk Southern Intermodal Facility and the northern side of North Brevard Street. A proposed
North storage yard would be located on the site of the Norfolk Southern Intermodal Facility, which NS
plans to relocate to the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport as a separate project.
The Preferred Alternative would continue along the northern edge of North Brevard Street and cross over

Extension
Little Sugar Creek on a bridge and then under the 30th Street Bridge. No changes to Brevard Street
would occur. Just beyond 30th Street, the alignment would ascend up a retaining wall and over a bridge
to pass over the existing Aberdeen, Carolina & Western Railway Company (AC&W) rail line. The
proposed alignment would return to ground level and run parallel to the existing freight tracks on the
south side of the NCRR right-of-way until Craighead Road.
A new access road for the Duke Energy Substation
would be constructed off of North Brevard Street,
north of the existing driveway, since the proposed
light rail alignment would be located where the
existing entrance is located. The new access road
would go under the light rail bridge to provide an
entrance to the electrical substation from the west
side, as well as to provide access to a proposed
signal house for the light rail, and potentially
provide additional access to an adjacent parcel.
Between 30th Street and Old Concord Road, the
light rail would operate in the NCRR right-of-way.

active in this segment of the corridor. The proposed
Preferred Alternative would include a separation of approximately 54 feet between the freight tracks and
the proposed light rail track.
At 36th Street, the proposed light rail would travel within the NCRR right-of-way on the southeast side of
the existing freight tracks. Existing 36th Street would be depressed under the existing freight and
proposed light rail tracks to alleviate traffic and pedestrian safety and traffic delay concerns and to
improve freight operations. The existing freight tracks would be shifted to the north, and the freight tracks
and the proposed light rail tracks would be placed on a bridge structure to allow the road to be
constructed as an underpass. Just south of Craighead Road, the proposed alignment would go up and
over Craighead Road, crossing over the existing freight tracks on a bridge and then return back to ground
level on the western side and continue to the
northeast. - -�� :.:, ���; ,��;.} .- _� �.. � �: __..:_ � .;�.��r. :�,

NCDOT plans to grade separate Sugar Creek Road
with either an underpass (depression) or overpass
(bridge) with the existing freight tracks that are
currently at street level due to safety concerns.
CATS has worked with NCRR and NCDOT Rail to
develop plans that allow the light rail tracks to be
constructed adjacent to the freight tracks, also
grade separated from the road. The current design
of the LYNX BLE Preferred Alternative assumes
that Sugar Creek Road would be depressed under
the railroad. Due to the fact that the horizontal and
vertical alignment of the LYNX BLE Preferred
Alternative would be the same in either case, the
impacts of the LYNX BLE Preferred Alternative are
not expected to be significantly different.

Approximately 2,600 feet north of Eastway Drive, the alignment would depart from the NCRR right-of-way
and turn northwest towards the intersection of Old Concord Road and North Tryon Street/US-29 through
private property. Due to high traffic volumes, vehicular safety concerns (for motorists and light rail
vehicles), and traffic operations at this location, a bridge would be constructed to take the light rail up and
over Old Concord Road and the outbound travel lanes of North Tryon Street/US-29. The proposed light

rail would return to street level approximately 1,000 feet north of the North Tryon Street/US-29 - Old
Concord Road intersection and continue in the median to just north of JW Clay Boulevard and the
entrance to the Charlotte Research Institute.
Where North Tryon Street/US-29 meets University City Blvd./NC-49, commonly referred to as the
"weave", NCDOT and CDOT have designed safety improvements that convert the weave configuration
into two at-grade, signalized intersections. Construction of the improved intersections began in 2010.
To pass through the reconfigured intersections, the proposed light rail alignment would begin to ascend
onto a bridge structure to pass over the realigned I-85 Connector Road - North Tryon Street/US-29
intersection. The alignment would return to street level south of the University City Blvd. Station park-and-
ride entrance, where there would be a signalized intersection provided to access the park-and-ride lot.
Beyond Stetson Drive, the alignment would again ascend to an aerial structure and pass over the
realigned University City Blvd./NC-49 and City Boulevard intersection and return to street level just north
of Brookside Lane.
The proposed alignment would continue at street level in the median of North Tryon Street/US-29, past
McCullough Drive. Just north of Ken Hoffman Drive, the alignment would transition to an aerial structure,
crossing over W.T. Harris Boulevard and returning to street level just south of JM Keynes Drive/Hospital
Drive.
After the proposed light rail alignment passes through the intersection of North Tryon Street/US-29 and
UNC Charlotte Research Drive, the alignment would begin to descend below the existing street elevation
of North Tryon Street/US-29. The alignment would then turn to the southeast towards the UNC Charlotte
campus, crossing under the northbound travel lanes of North Tryon Street/US-29, continuing to turn
southeast, bringing the light rail alignment onto the campus of UNC Charlotte. The alignment would
continue towards the northeastern edge of the existing Charlotte Research Institute buildings. The
alignment would cross over Toby Creek and the planned Toby Creek Greenway on a bridge and then
travel along the northern side of Cameron Boulevard, across from the Laurel Hall dormitory.
Stations
The Preferred Alternative would include 11 stations, as well as a feeder bus system to support the light
rail system. Passengers would board or alight the light rail vehicles at stations. Stations would be
configured with center or side platforms, depending on the available site conditions, and most stations
would be located at existing ground or street level. All stations would have level boarding to be Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible. The 36th Street Station would be located on a bridge structure that
would support the station and light rail tracks while the respective roadway would be depressed
underneath.
Platforms are planned to be 300 feet long to accommodate a three-car train. Along North Tryon
Street/US-29, stations would be located in the median with pedestrian access via crosswalks. All stations
would include facilities for bicyclists, such as bike racks or bike lockers. All stations would include:
• Shelters, garbage cans and benches;
• Lighting;
• Self-serve ticket-vending machines (TVM);
• Closed Circuit Television cameras (CCTV);
• Passenger Assistance Telephones (PAT);
• Variable Message Signs (VMS);
• Public Address System (PA);
• Blue light emergency phones; and,
• Customer information, such as maps and schedules for the light rail line and connecting bus routes.
In the more urban areas of the corridor, access to stations would primarily consist of pedestrians,
bicyclists, or passengers transferring from bus services; otherwise known as "walk-up" customers. Walk-
up stations are more conducive to urban environments where higher land densities exist. Automobile

Extension
parking would not be provided at walk-up stations; therefore less land acquisition would be required for
walk-up stations. On-street bus transfers would take place in proximity to the station locations to facilitate
mobility between bus service and the light rail.
Four stations would have park-and-ride facilities with ADA accessible parking. The park-and-ride facilities
would vary in size based on projected ridership and available land. Park-and-ride facilities have been
designed to accommodate access by bus, automobile, bicyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, bus bays
and bus stops, would be accommodated at select stations based on available land and projected
demand. Parking garages are planned at the University City Blvd. and JW Clay Blvd. Stations. All other
parking would be provided at surface parking lots.

Grade Separations
Based on an evaluation of safety and projected traffic volumes and delays, grade separations are
proposed as part of the project to provide safe operations and reduce delay to vehicles at intersections
through the corridor. The locations of the proposed grade separations are:
• 11th Street (existing)
• I-277 (existing)
• CSX Railroad tracks between I-277 and 16th Street
• AC&W railroad tracks just north of 30th Street/Duke Energy access road

Rail and Street Modifications
Modifications that would need to occur to existing infrastructure that would result directly from the
Preferred Alternative include:
• Construction of a new access driveway off of North Brevard Street for access to the existing Duke
Energy substation;
• Grade separation of 36th Street and the NCRR, including construction of a sidewalk along 36th Street
under the future freight and light rail bridges;
• Modifications to North Tryon Street to accommodate light rail in the median, described below.
North Trvon Street Modifications
The existing right-of-way along most of North Tryon Street/US-29 where the proposed light rail would be
located is 120 feet. The required right-of-way width for incorporating light rail into the median is 147 feet
plus additional width at intersections to accommodate turn lanes and in station locations. The typical
section would include: two 11-foot through travel lanes for northbound and southbound directions; 11-foot
turn lanes at intersections; two light rail tracks within the median; five foot bicycle lanes; two foot — six inch
curb and gutters on both sides; eight foot planting strips; and six to eight foot sidewalks on both sides.
• Along North Tryon Street/US-29 between Old Concord Road and "the weave," asymmetrical widening
is proposed. Along this section of North Tryon Street/US-29, the intent would be to acquire additional
right-of-way primarily on the west side of North Tryon Street/US-29. To accommodate light rail in the
median, North Tryon Street/US-29 would be re-built so that the proposed edge of pavement on the
east side would be located approximately 10 feet to the east of existing edge of pavement for the
north-bound lanes of North Tryon Street/US-29, and the proposed edge of pavement on the west side
would be approximately 30 feet to the west of the existing edge of pavement of the south-bound lanes
of North Tryon Street/US-29.
• Due to the new terminus at the UNC Charlotte Station, the additional parking needs at University City
Blvd. Station results in increased traffic to the area. As such, additional lanes in "the weave" are
necessary. A six-lane typical section, with turn lanes is proposed under the LYNX BLE light rail
project. The southbound North Tryon Street/US-29 movement would have a three-lane segment from
Shopping Center Drive to the I-85 Connector and the northbound North Tryon Street/US-29
movement would have a three-lane segment from Orchard Trace Lane to University City
Bou levard/NC-49.
• North of the "the weave" to UNC Charlotte Research Drive (also known as Institute Circle),
symmetrical widening of North Tryon Street/US-29 is proposed. This would require approximately the
same amount of additional right-of-way on both sides. Along both sides of North Tryon Street/US-29,
the proposed edge of pavement would be located approximately 30 feet from the existing edge of
pavement.
• Additional widening, along the entire stretch of North Tryon Street/US-29 for both the asymmetrical
and symmetrical widening, of approximately ten to 20 feet would be required to accommodate the
left/right turn lanes at signalized intersections. The proposed number of turn lanes at each
intersection is based on the traffic analysis documented in the Final EIS Chapter 3.0: Transportation.
Additional widening would likely be required at the signalized intersections to provide sufficient
pedestrian refuge in the median.
• The existing intersection of North Tryon Street/US-29 and Old Concord Road would be modified. The
existing skewed intersection would be realigned to a 90-degree intersection by eliminating the free-
flow right turn movement from north-bound North Tryon Street/US-29 onto Old Concord Road.
• Signalized intersections would provide vehicular and pedestrian crossings across the light rail tracks.
• All existing signalized intersections would remain and the proposed project would add five new
signalized intersections along North Tryon Street/US-29 at Orr Road, Arrowhead Drive, Owen
Boulevard, Orchard Trace Lane, and the University City Blvd. Station park-and-ride entrance.
Alternatives Analysis Page 14 Rev. 00

Blue Line
Extension
Existing median openings along North Tryon Street/US-29 where vehicles can currently make a left
turn would be closed at: Austin Drive, Heathway Drive, Kemp Street, Stetson Drive, and Clark
Boulevard. Side streets and driveways between signalized intersections would be right-in/right-out
only and would require vehicles to make left or u-turns at signalized intersections.
Other Proiects
Two projects being undertaken by others have influenced the design of the Preferred Alternative:
The City's reconfiguration of the North Tryon Street/US-29 and University City Blvd./NC-49
intersections which will result in two at-grade intersections to improve the existing safety conditions of
the area referred to as "the weave;" and,
The NCRR and NCDOT Rail Division's plan to grade separate Sugar Creek Road. Sugar Creek Road
would be depressed under or carried over the existing railroad tracks as planned and undertaken as a
separate project by the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) and North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) rail. The proposed LYNX BLE Project would share the structure constructed
over a depressed Sugar Creek Road with the railroad project, or would be at existing grade below an
elevated Sugar Creek Road.
Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option
The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option represents a change from the Preferred
Alternative alignment and a change in the locations for the station platforms and park-and-ride locations
for the Sugar Creek and Old Concord Road Stations. The Preferred Alternative alignment and stations
leading up to and departing from the area of the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option
would not change under this design option.
The alignment would divert from the Preferred Alternative just after it passes Sugar Creek Road. Like the
Preferred Alternative, the alignment for the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would
pass over Sugar Creek Road on a bridge. This bridge structure would be at the same elevation (at-grade)
as the freight tracks and the existing roadway. Sugar Creek Road would also be depressed under the
existing freight and the future proposed light rail tracks.
The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option light rail alignment would turn north towards
North Tryon Street/US-29 approximately 200 feet north and east of Sugar Creek Road, rather than
continuing along the NCRR right-of-way to north of Eastway Drive, similar to what is proposed under the
Preferred Alternative. This design option alignment would then go up and over the northbound travel
lanes of North Tryon Street/US-29 approximately 800 feet north of Dorton Street and then return to street
level in the median of North Tryon Street/US-29 approximately 160 feet north of Bennett Street.
Asymmetrical widening to the west side of North Tryon Street/US-29 from Dorton Street to Old Concord
Road is proposed. The existing right-of-way along this portion of North Tryon Street/US-29 is 100 feet.
The required right-of-way width for incorporating light rail into the median is 147 feet plus additional width
at intersections to accommodate turn lanes. The proposed typical section along North Tryon Street would
be the same as in the Preferred Alternative. In addition, Dorton Street would be extended east to Raleigh
Street to provide access to the park-and-ride lot. An at-grade crossing would also be provided where the
light rail would cross Raleigh Street.
The Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option would continue north and east in the median of
North Tryon Street/US-29. A retaining wall would begin 712 feet south of Eastway Drive and continue to a
bridge to cross over Eastway Drive. The light rail would descend on a retaining wall for another 750 feet
to Northchase Drive. The design option would continue at street level through the intersection at Old
Concord Road, to the point where the alignment merges with the Preferred Alternative alignment at
Austin Drive. Table 6 summarizes the basic characteristics of the proposed stations for the Light Rail
Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option.

Ancillary Facilities
The Preferred Alternative would also include ancillary facilities,
such as electric substations and signal control houses. To provide
electricity along the line for the light rail vehicles, seven traction
power substations would be located along the alignment.
Substations require approximately 40 feet by 60 feet sites with
access driveways. A typical substation would be constructed of
steel housing and depending on the location, could be surrounded
by fencing, a brick wall, landscaping or other forms of aesthetic
barriers. Substations would be spaced along the alignment,
approximately one-mile apart.
The signal control house contains the signaling control system,
circuits and equipment required for safe vehicle operation. Seven
signal houses are planned along the alignment. The distances
between the signal houses vary and are related to the location of
the crossover tracks where light rail vehicles can cross between
one track and another. The minimum distance between signal
houses is 800 feet, while the maximum distance between signal
houses is 16,000 feet.
Technology Characteristics
Light rail is a transit technology that operates on fixed steel rails
and is typically powered by an overhead electrical system,
although diesel-powered systems also exist. The Preferred
Alternative vehicles would be electrically powered by an
Overhead Catenary System (OCS) of wires supported by poles.
The design of the light rail OCS would utilize either a center
pole configuration or side pole configuration along the corridor.
For the Preferred Alternative, light rail would operate in
dedicated right-of-way; although autos would be able to cross
the tracks at select intersections. Grade crossing gates and lights
would be placed at these intersections for safety.
Typical LYNX Blue Line substation.

Typical Light Rail Vehicle
The Preferred Alternative would utilize similar vehicles to the vehicles used for the existing LYNX Blue
Line light rail. The light rail vehicles would have a partial low floor (75 percent) and articulation. The cars
would be capable of multiple unit bi-directional operation and consist of 1, 2 or 3-car sets with a minimum
of 68 seats per car. Each vehicle would be fully compliant with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA),
with sufficient space to accommodate a minimum of four wheelchairs. The vehicles would also include
racks to carry up to four bicycles, radios and Automatic Passenger Counters (APC). Each vehicle would
be manually operated and would generally operate at a maximum speed of 55 miles per hour.

Operating Characteristics
The operations plan for the Preferred Alternative includes light rail service and feeder bus service. Since
the Preferred Alternative would be an extension of the existing LYNX Blue Line, service frequency for the
LYNX BLE would be the same as that for the existing LYNX Blue Line.
Liqht Rail Service
Light rail service would operate between the I-485/South Boulevard Station at the southern terminus of
the existing South Corridor LYNX Blue Line and the UNC Charlotte Station on the UNC Charlotte
campus. Trains would operate in 1, 2 or 3-car sets, seven days a week from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. The
service would generally operate on the following frequencies:
• Weekday peak-period service (i.e. 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) would be every
7.5 minutes for initial operations and every ten minutes by the year 2035.
• Weekday off-peak service would be 15 minutes during the early morning, mid-day, and evening
periods (i.e. 5:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and 20 minutes during the
evening/night period (i.e. 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.).
• Saturday service would be every 15 minutes from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; every 20 minutes from
7:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and, every 30 minutes from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
and 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
• Sunday service would be every 15 minutes from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; every 20 minutes from 9:00
a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and every 30 minutes from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and
10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
The operating analysis indicated that to meet the projected peak period demand in 2035, two operating
scenarios would provide sufficient capacity. The first operating scenario is two car trains with 6-minute
headways. The second operating scenario is 3-car trains with 10-minute headways. Ten-minute
headways were analyzed in the Final EIS to represent the future traffic and noise scenario.
Additional light rail service would be provided to meet the demand produced by special events. The
service plan would vary depending on the size and type of special event. The plan may include more
frequent service, additional hours of service, or additional vehicles added to the light rail service and
supporting bus services for special events such as sporting events, concerts, shows, or festivals. Venues
in Center City Charlotte that may require special event service include: Bank of America Stadium, Time
Warner Cable Arena, the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, the NASCAR Hall of Fame and a future
baseball stadium. Outside of Center City Charlotte, events at Memorial Stadium, Central Piedmont
Community College, UNC Charlotte, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre and Charlotte Motor Speedway may
also require special event service.
Feeder Bus Service
The light rail service would be augmented by feeder bus service that would include local and express bus
service. Bus-to-rail transfers would occur at most station locations. To provide feeder bus service for the
Preferred Alternative, the existing CATS corridor bus service would be modified to move passengers to
and from proposed light rail stations. In total, 14 routes are planned for the corridor and three of these
routes would be new services. Several existing routes would be re-aligned and some route frequencies
would be modified to minimize waiting time for transfers to or from light rail. Specific route changes are
described in detail in the CATS Bus/Rail Operating Plan and are summarized in Table 7.

Station
Fare Collection
Fare collection for the Preferred Alternative would be the same as the existing LYNX Blue Line; a barrier-
free, proof-of-payment method of fare collection, otherwise known as the "honor" system. CATS would
utilize fare inspectors and police officers to check tickets and passes aboard the light rail vehicles. This is
the same method of fare collection and enforcement that CATS currently performs on the existing LYNX
Blue Line.
Light rail patrons would buy tickets and passes from the self-serve ticket vending machines (TVMs)
located at the stations, or otherwise in advance at an authorized CATS pass outlet or through the CATS
website. The TVMs located at the stations would have the capability to dispense one-way, round-trip,
weekly and day pass tickets, reduced-fare tickets for qualified persons (seniors, handicapped, etc.) and
print receipts for credit/debit transactions. The fare media would be paper-based, magnetically encoded,
and compatible with the existing bus magnetic ticketing system.
LYNX Blue Line Light Rail (South Corridor) Improvements
The LYNX BLE creates projected ridership loads that require either the operation of ten-minute headways
with 3 car trains or six-minute headways with 2 car trains. Both of these scenarios require improvements
to the existing Blue Line light rail (South Corridor Improvements, STV Inc., 2009). The LYNX Blue Line
(South Corridor Light Rail Project) was originally designed with 3 car platforms and additional substations,
but these improvements were cut during Final Design. To operate 3 car train sets in the future, CATS
would need to extend the length of the existing 2-car platforms at each of the 15 LYNX Blue Line stations
in the South Corridor and add four additional substations to meet the traction power requirements.
Improvements to the LYNX Blue Line to operate 3 car train sets would be a separate future project.
Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Bicycle Facilities Study
The Northeast Corridor Infrastructure (NECI) Bicycle Facilities Study evaluated various bike path
alternatives to be located between downtown Charlotte and UNC Charlotte. The alternative alignments

considered were to provide both pedestrian and bicycle users opportunities to safely travel within the
northeast corridor. Through a stakeholder process, alternative alignments along N. Tryon Street/US-29,
paralleling the proposed LYNX BLE and utilizing planned greenways, existing greenways and existing
street networks within the neighborhoods adjacent to the LYNX BLE were evaluated. The preferred
alignment utilized a street network that paralleled the LYNX BLE from the 9th Street Station to the Old
Concord Road Station utilizing existing streets and NCRR right-of-way, then utilizing the planned bike
lanes along N. Tryon Street/US-29 that are being incorporated into the LYNX BLE. The ability to
incorporate an alignment within the NCRR right-of-way provided the most direct access between stations,
and duplicates what was done along the existing LYNX Blue Line.

Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
The purpose of this Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects (ICE) Assessment is to assess
the potential for indirect and cumulative effects that may result from construction of the Charlotte
Area Transit System's (CATS) proposed LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light
Rail Project (LYNX BLE). The assessment of indirect and cumulative effects is required of
proposed federal actions as established by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and
implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), as well as the North Carolina
State Environmental Policy Act (NCEPA).
The Section 401 Water Quality Certification Program requires that the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) determine that a project "does not result in cumulative effects, based
upon past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, that cause or would cause a violation of
downstream water quality standards" (15A NCAC 2H). As recommended by NCDWQ, this can
be accomplished through an ICE Assessment. A Secondary and Cumulative Effects Analysis
(SCEA) was prepared as part of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the LYNX
BLE. The Final EIS was completed in August 2011. The SCEA, completed in August 2010,
assessed the indirect and cumulative effects of the proposed project. This ICE assesses the
potential for those identified effects to specifically impact water quality.
The LYNX BLE would be located within the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. Two separate design alternatives were considered as part of the alternative analysis:
the Light Rail Alternative and the Light Rail Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option. The Final
EIS identifies the Light Rail Alternative as the Preferred Alternative for the LYNX BLE and
compares that selection to the No-Build Alternative. The No-Build Alternative was not selected
as it would not enhance access to transit and would not support future development, as called
for in adopted plans and policies. The No-Build Alternative would likely result in the continuation
of urban sprawl as highway improvements would be needed to accommodate anticipated
population and employment growth.
The City of Charlotte Planning Department and CATS are planning and implementing strategies
to proactively manage the future growth that is projected for the Charlotte region. Several
policies, tools, and planning initiatives have been adopted to implement the vision of several
local land use and transportation plans, including the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth
Framework (August 2010), 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan, the Northeast Area Plan, the
University City Area Plan and the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan.
As envisioned in the region's plans, future development would be focused into areas that can
support new development or are in need of redevelopment and away from areas that cannot
support new growth. This concept is especially important from an environmental perspective as
it facilitates more compact development, makes more efficient use of land and encourages
alternative modes of transportation. Higher density development would be encouraged around
light rail stations. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) considers %2-mile to be a safe and
convenient distance to walk to public transit. Because of the accessibility and walkability, transit
stations often become focused development areas that are expected to experience effects as a
result of a transit project. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) policies have been developed
that focus on creating compact neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community
services, and recreational opportunities all within a%2-half mile walking distance of a transit
station. Project-related indirect effects outside of this area are not as likely. By focusing future
growth in corridors with multiple travel alternatives, the region would be able to grow in a
manner that promotes continued access and mobility and that enhances the quality of life for

residents and employees. The types, pattern, and density of future and even existing
development may be affected, but limited to localized areas surrounding station locations.
The probability of sweeping land use changes in the Northeast Corridor and Future Land Use
Area (FLUSA) related to the LYNX BLE is minimal. The corridor and FLUSA is expected to
retain its overall urban to suburban character, and development interest and activity would exist
with or without the project. However, the project is more likely to encourage land use changes,
redevelopment, and infill development at specifically targeted station areas.
The Northeast Corridor has experienced change in the past few years, emerging with three
distinct characteristics: the edgy, in-town district along North Davidson Street referred to as
NoDa; an aging suburban corridor along North Tryon Street/US-29 from Sugar Creek Road to
Tom Hunter Road; and a suburban corridor experiencing mixed success from University City
Boulevard north to I-485. It is projected that the North Davidson Street area will continue to fuel
strong opportunities for intensification of residential, retail and creative office opportunities,
particularly around the Parkwood, and 36th Street stations. Retail abandonment, limited
interstate access, and economic stagnation are expected to temper the pace of development in
the Sugar Creek Road to Tom Hunter Road area. The University City area and its proposed
stations could benefit from several large-scale potentially catalytic projects. These projects
include Belgate, UNC Charlotte expansion and associated development projects and University
Place.
The variations in development and land use patterns in the Northeast Corridor and FLUSA will
vary from existing patterns mostly around station areas. These variations from existing uses
would likely be the transition to mixed-use designations in areas where there is the greatest
potential for TOD. Existing and proposed land use policies and development regulations support
the implementation of the LYNX BLE. The proposed project would provide a substantial
improvement to an established, overburdened transportation corridor with projected growth. In
addition, the proposed project would meet the City of Charlotte's and Mecklenburg County's
desires to implement long-range plans that integrate land use and transportation policies. This
integration of land use and transportation is intended to better protect and enhance the
environment through sustainable development.

The proposed project would likely shift vehicle trips to transit,

The potential for growth and land use changes as a result of the proposed project is low-to-
moderate. Most of the Northeast Corridor and FLUSA contain neighborhoods in an urban or
suburban setting, and the proposed project is not likely to cause a substantial change in type or
intensity of land use throughout the corridor and the FLUSA. The corridor and FLUSA will
experience growth and development in the study time frame with or without the proposed
project, as evidenced by population and employment projections. The proposed project is not
likely to influence "if" growth will occur in the corridor, but rather "where" and "how" the growth
would occur.
It is not expected that project-related growth and water quality effects will be of such magnitude
that a quantitative watershed analysis is necessary. Induced growth as a result of the project
could have an indirect effect on water resources and water quality. However, growth resulting
from the proposed project would occur at a low-to-moderate rate. It is expected that growth and
development would occur within the corridor at lower densities and in a less concentrated
manner if the project is not constructed and local transit-related ordinances aren't implemented.
Because of this, the LYNX BLE could have fewer effects to water resources and downstream
water quality than the No-Build Alternative.
Existing land use policies and development regulations support the implementation of the LYNX
BLE. The proposed project would provide a substantial improvement to an established,
overburdened transportation corridor. In addition, the proposed project would meet the City of
Charlotte's and Mecklenburg County's desires to implement long-range plans that integrate land
use and transportation policies, and potential indirect effects related to resources and water
quality would be minimized by regulations in place to protect these resources.

Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects (ICE) Assessment
LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
The purpose of this Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects (ICE) Assessment is to assess
the potential for indirect and cumulative effects that may result from construction of the
proposed LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX BLE). The
assessment of indirect and cumulative effects is required of proposed federal actions as
established by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and implemented by the Council
on Environmental Quality (CEQ), as well as the North Carolina State Environmental Policy Act
(NCEPA). Information was taken from existing technical reports and the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (August 2011). The Final EIS was updated with 2035 data and recently
released 2010 Census data, which has been included in this report.
CEQ regulations indicate that indirect effects (also known as secondary effects) are caused by
an action such as the proposed LYNX BLE project, and occur later in time or farther removed in
distance than direct effects, but are still reasonably foreseeable. These effects may include
growth inducing effects and other impacts related to induced changes that would not otherwise
occur without the project implementation. Cumulative effects result from the incremental impact
of an action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions,
regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such other actions.
Cumulative effects can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking
place over a period of time. "Effect" and "impact" are used synonymously in the CEQ
regulations, and are used interchangeably in this report.
Transportation projects are a primary influence on where development occurs, as these
improvements may make land more attractive for development. Transit projects, such as the
proposed LYNX BLE are primarily intended to meet the existing and future transportation needs
of a community in a more sustainable capacity than traditional highway development. Light rail
transit in general, provides an alternative mode of transportation and removes vehicle trips from
the roadway. However, a secondary consequence is that light rail transit may lead to the
conversion of undeveloped or underdeveloped land to more intensive land uses. The
conversions may occur throughout the corridor and transit service area with the majority of
induced development resulting from light rail projects typically occurring within a%2-mile radius
of transit stations.
Without proper controls, induced growth and change in land uses can affect natural and human
resources and can affect water quality. Where and how communities accommodate growth has
a profound impact on the quality of water resources. Planned development that uses land
efficiently and protects undisturbed natural lands allows a community to grow and still protect its
water resources. Higher-density development in planned locations is key to protecting water
resources. Well planned, higher-density development is capable of better protecting water
quality over low-density, sprawling development as less consumption of land generally means
less impervious surface cover in a watershed. Increasing development densities along growth
corridors with high-capacity transportation facilities is one strategy communities can use to
minimize regional water quality effects. To fully protect water resources, communities need to
employ a wide range of land use strategies, building a range of development densities in the
appropriate locations.
The Section 401 Water Quality Certification Program requires that the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) determine that a project "does not result in cumulative effects, based

upon past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, that cause or would cause a violation of
downstream water quality standards" (15A NCAC 2H). As recommended by NCDWQ, this can
be accomplished through an ICE Assessment.
Water quality effects associated with the development of the proposed project include, but are
not necessarily limited to, non-point source pollution emanating from storm-water runoff, direct
stream effects and wetland reduction effects. An environmental inventory of the LYNX BLE
study area was completed to identify potentially affected water bodies, their characteristics,
water quality classifications, relevant water quality protection regulations, and the extent of
current impervious cover within the watersheds. This report is intended to demonstrate, through
a qualitative analysis, whether the proposed project has the potential to cause indirect and
cumulative effects, especially as they relate to water quality.
1.2 Project Description and Project Purpose
The LYNX BLE would be located in the Northeast Corridor, which is located within the City of
Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A map of the region is shown in Figure 1.
The Northeast Corridor was identified under the original Centers and Corridors Vision Plan
(1994) and the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan (1998). The Centers, Corridors and
Wedges Growth Framework was an update to the 1994 Vision Plan, prepared in August of
2011, and Figure 2 identifies the planned high-growth corridors. The Northeast Corridor Major
Investment Study (2002) defined the extent of the Northeast Corridor limits, which spans
approximately 14 miles from Center City Charlotte to the Cabarrus County Line.
Two separate design alternatives were considered as part of the alternative analysis for the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS): the Light Rail Alternative and the Light Rail
Alternative — Sugar Creek Design Option. The Final EIS identifies the Light Rail Alternative as
the Preferred Alternative and compares that selection to the No-Build Alternative. The No-Build
Alternative was not selected as it would not enhance access to transit and would not support
future development, as called for in adopted plans and policies. The No-Build Alternative would
likely result in the continuation of urban sprawl as highway improvements would be needed to
accommodate anticipated population and employment growth. The majority of analysis
performed for the Final EIS was within the defined Northeast Corridor limits.
The proposed LYNX BLE would be an extension of the LYNX Blue Line (formerly called the
South Corridor Light Rail Project) light rail service that opened in November 2007. The
proposed project would extend through the Northeast Corridor approximately 9.4 miles and
provide 11 transit stations, including seven walk-up stations and four stations with park-and-ride
facilities, as well as a feeder bus system to support the light rail system. The alignment would
travel within existing railroad rights-of-way from Center City Charlotte to the middle of the
alignment, near Old Concord Road, where it would then transition to the median of North Tryon
Street/US-29. The line would remain in the median until approximately 1,000 feet north of the
existing entrance to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte's (UNC Charlotte) Charlotte
Research Institute, where it would enter the campus. The proposed project would terminate at
the UNC Charlotte Station. Figure 3 shows the Preferred Alternative alignment and station
locations.
The purpose of the proposed LYNX BLE is to ensure future mobility by providing a
transportation alternative in a highly congested travel corridor and to support the region's land
use policies and goals for a sustainable growth and development pattern. The proposed project
would provide high-capacity, light rail transit service in the corridor. This new service would offer

a convenient, time-competitive travel alternative and reduce dependence on single-occupant
automobiles. As an extension of the LYNX Blue Line, the proposed project would enhance the
operating effectiveness of CATS' light rail service and leverage the public investment already
made in the South Corridor.
The proposed project would also support the growth plans developed by the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg region. As envisioned in the region's plans, future development would be focused
into areas that can support new development or are in need of redevelopment, and away from
areas that cannot support new growth. Higher density development would be encouraged
around light rail stations. By focusing future growth in corridors with multiple travel alternatives,
the region would be able to grow in a manner that promotes continued access and mobility and
that enhances the quality of life for residents and employees.
2.0 STUDY AREA BOUNDARIES
Study areas were identified for considering a full range of potential indirect and cumulative
effects. Definition of study areas was based on several factors, including political/geographic
boundaries (i.e., planning corridor districts and Census Tracts), commuteshed, growth
boundaries/service area limits, watersheds, and interviews with planners with substantial
knowledge of the area. Local representatives from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning
Department (Planning) and Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) assisted in defining the study
areas by responding to preliminary mapping presented at an interview on April 20, 2009, and
by answering questions about potential project-induced changes in the area.
2.1 Future Land Use Study Area
The Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA), which is depicted in Figure 4, is where there is
potential for land use changes as a result of the proposed LYNX BLE. The FLUSA is not
necessarily the extent or exact location where indirect effects are likely to occur, but rather a
data collection area. Based on a field review of local conditions, interviews with local
representatives, and professional judgment, this area was determined large enough to
encompass potential indirect and cumulative effects resulting from the LYNX BLE.
The northwestern and southeastern edges of the FLUSA for this project are defined by the
existing railroad tracks, as it is assumed that the tracks pose a physical barrier for land use
changes associated with the proposed project. Existing roadways and neighborhood boundaries
were considered in delineating the geographic extent of project-related land use changes to the
northeastern and southwestern sides of the corridor. Although I-85 could act as a physical
barrier for land use changes associated with the project, the FLUSA was delineated beyond the
interstate because of availability of developable land and the proximity and connection to future
I-485. The FLUSA's eastern extent is defined by the Cabarrus County/Mecklenburg County
Line, which is approximately 3 miles from the northern terminus of the proposed project. This is
estimated to provide an adequate distance to encompass any potential indirect and cumulative
effects related to the project. The boundaries of the FLUSA are very similar to those of the
Northeast Corridor. The Northeast Corridor is identified and discussed in several local plans.
2.2 Demographic Area
A demographic analysis area was established to analyze the population, housing and
employment growth trends for the FLUSA. Because the Charlotte Planning Commission has
relatively detailed demographic information for the Northeast Corridor, which is very similar in
size, shape and location to the FLUSA, the Demographic Area's boundary is based on the outer
December 2011 Page 6 Rev. 00

Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment
LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
limits of Census Tracts that generally encompass the Northeast Corridor. The boundaries of the
Demographic Area (DA) follow Census Tract lines and primarily go beyond the FLUSA and the
Northeast Corridor. The demographic area consists of 44 Mecklenburg County Census Tracts
(2010) as shown in Figure 4. Several Census Tracts were subdivided as part of the 2010
Census update and may have different Census Tract numbers than in 1990 and 2000.
2.3 Timeframe for Analysis
The timeframe for the analysis includes population trends from 1980 to present, as well as
projections through 2035. The projection year 2030 was determined to be a suitable analysis
timeframe for indirect and cumulative effects in 2010, when the SCEA was prepared, as it was
the forecast year of the proposed LYNX BLE, and it was also the horizon year for the
Mecklenburg-Union Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MUMPO's) Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP) at that time.
A Secondary and Cumulative Effects Assessment Technical Memorandum (August 2010) was
prepared as part of the Final EIS. The horizon year for the technical memorandum was 2030,
which is still appropriate given that it is also the forecast year for the project. However, the Final
EIS was updated with 2035 data and recently released 2010 Census data, which has also been
included in this report. No other new data has been researched or analysis completed since the
preparation of the Final EIS.
3.0 STUDY AREA NEEDS, DIRECTIONS AND GOALS
3.1 Regional Context
The City of Charlotte, North Carolina is at the heart of the rapidly growing Charlotte-
Mecklenburg region, which boasts one of the most robust economies in the United States.
Charlotte serves as the commercial capital of the Carolinas and has become one of the nation's
largest banking centers. The last several decades have seen record increases in population and
employment, both in Center City Charlotte and in outlying activity centers.
Center City Charlotte is where the existing LYNX Blue Line terminates and where the proposed
LYNX BLE would begin. It is the region's largest employment center, housing workers,
residences, office space, retail space, and numerous entertainment, recreational,
institutional/educational, and cultural destinations. The proposed LYNX BLE Northeast Corridor
contains approximately 23 identified major activity centers and they are shown in Figure 5.
These major activity centers include Center City Charlotte, the North Davidson "NoDa" Historic
Arts District and the University City employment center. The University City area includes large
employment complexes, medical facilities, and the UNC Charlotte main campus. These
destinations, as well as the corridor's connection to other corridors and activity centers, will
continue to influence growth attractiveness and development potential within the Northeast
Corridor through 2035.
The Noell Consulting Group's report, City of Charlotte Estimated Development Potential for
Transit Corridors and Activity Centers — 2008-2035 (April 2009), concludes that Mecklenburg
County will become increasingly urbanized through the next two decades and beyond with
heavy emphasis on intensifying residential and commercial uses in key activity centers and in
the four major transit corridors in the county (of which, the Northeast Corridor is one). It also
indicated that the four transit corridors and activity centers studied are expected to gain market
share in the coming years, capturing more than 40 percent of all new residential growth, 78
percent of new office growth, and more than half of the new retail growth.
December 2011 Page 7 Rev. 00

LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
The Northeast Corridor is a heavily traveled transit route, as it provides a vital connection
between Center City Charlotte and the University City area. The route along North Tryon
Street/US-29 also provides an alternative to travel on Interstate 85 (I-85) between these two
activity centers. As of January 2009, there were 16 bus routes operating in the Northeast
Corridor, including local bus routes, UNC Charlotte shuttle routes, neighborhood circulator
routes and express bus routes.
Recognizing the consequences of uncontrolled growth to the region's attractiveness as a place
to live and do business, decision-makers initiated efforts to coordinate land use and
transportation planning, and encourage growth in a way that will enhance regional mobility. The
City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have adopted plans that encourage growth and
development that builds on the region's existing framework of centers and corridors, focusing
future development in these areas and preserving lower density development and open space
between corridors.
3.2 Demographic and Employment Patterns
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg area represents the largest concentration of population and
employment in North Carolina. Since 1980, the region has experienced substantial growth,
resulting in a doubling of population for the county and the city. According to U.S. Census
Bureau data, between 1980 and 2010 Mecklenburg County's population increased from
404,270 residents to 919,628 residents (a 127 percent increase) and Charlotte's population
increased from 315,474 residents to 731,424 residents (a 131 percent increase) during the
same time period. Population growth for Mecklenburg County and Charlotte were higher than
the state and national growth rate. Table 2 includes a detailed summary of these historic
population changes.

Population within the Northeast Corridor has also increased substantially. The Northeast
Corridor was home to about 87,300 persons in 2010, which is approximately 10 percent of the
County's population. The trend of adding nearly 200,000 persons per decade to the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg area is projected to continue through 2035. By 2035, population in the corridor is
projected to increase by 47 percent from 2010 to 2035. Center City Charlotte is projected to
have an increase in population of approximately 22,200 persons or about 198 percent between
2010 and 2035. With the population increase, population densities within Mecklenburg County
are expected to increase within the horizon period. These population and employment
projections are included in Table 3.

Population, housing and employment data were reviewed at the regional, county, census tract
and station area levels. The following offers a detailed summary of the data.
Population
The six-county Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, NC-SC Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has an
estimated 2010 population of 2,174,353; ranking the 33rd largest MSA and 4th fastest growing
MSA in the country (U.S. Census, 2010). Mecklenburg County is the most populous county in
the MSA with 919,628 people in 2010, representing approximately 42 percent of the total 2010
MSA population. According to the U.S. Census 2010, the Northeast Corridor population,
excluding the Central Business District (CBD), totals 87,286 people; the CBD with 11,184
people. All totaled, the combined Northeast Corridor and CBD populations represent
approximately 11 percent of the overall Mecklenburg County population.
The population within the Demographic Area was estimated at approximately 200,000 in 2010,
representing a 112 percent increase over 1990. Projected population trends for the
Demographic Area are summarized in Table 4. Tracts have been combined for comparison of
the same geographic areas delineated in the 1990 and 2000 Census. It is assumed that the
Demographic Area trends would be relevant for expected FLUSA trends.

Housin
Nationally, housing markets have been in decline since August 2007. While trends are slowly
beginning to reverse, home prices and the housing market generally within the MSA have
maintained better than other metropolitan areas. The MSA also currently ranks fifth in housing
permits (Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, 2010). The 2010 U.S. Census data reveals that total
households in the proposed project corridor continue to grow, with the largest number of
households around the 36th Station and Tom Hunter Station in North Charlotte, and the JW
Clay Blvd Station in the University City area. The stations in the North Charlotte and University
City areas also contain some of the densest housing outside of Charlotte's CBD.
Employment
The total labor force in the MSA totals nearly 1.2 million, with more than 146,000 commuting
into Mecklenburg County from surrounding counties (Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, 2010).
The industries within the MSA vary, with the top industries being retail trade; professional,
scientific and technical services; and construction (U.S. Census, 2007). According to the U.S.
Census 2010, there are approximately 532,603 people employed in Mecklenburg County.
Within the project corridor, there are approximately 115,984 people employed, including
approximately 65,670 within Center City Charlotte. This represents approximately 22 percent of
the employment base for the County.
In 2008, healthcare and financial services continued to experience growth with Carolina's
Healthcare System and Wells Fargo/Wachovia Corporation surpassing even Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Schools as the County's top two employers. Within the County, the services and
retail sectors provide the largest number of jobs.
Table 5 provides additional detail regarding the existing population, housing and employment
data for the areas contained by a%2-mile buffer of the proposed stations (with the exception of
9th Street Station, which uses a'/4 mile buffer due to the geographic proximity of adjacent CBD
stations).

The FLUSA contains several economic activity centers, and for the purposes of this discussion
is divided into three geographic areas: Center City Charlotte (generally 9th Street Station to I-
277), North Charlotte (generally Parkwood Station to Tom Hunter Station), and the University
City area (generally Tom Hunter Station to UNC Charlotte Station). A description of each of
these activity centers is as follows. Additional detail related to land use can be found in the
August 2011 Final EIS Chapter 4.0: Land Use, Public Policy and Zoning.
Center City Charlotte
The most southern portion of the project area includes Center City Charlotte and the Central
Business District, the major activity and employment center for the region. Center City Charlotte
contains much of the area's office space as well as the government offices for the City of
Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Center City Charlotte has seen change over the past
decade fueled largely by redevelopment and infill development, as well as improvements to
transit, including the opening of the LYNX Blue Line light rail service in 2007. Key activities in
Center City Charlotte include: First Ward Urban Village; a new academic building for UNC
Charlotte; and, the 10th Street Connector.
North Charlotte
Just north of Center City Charlotte, the development character shifts from urban development to
industrial uses along the existing rail corridor. The area between Parkwood Avenue and 36th
Street is dominated by industrial uses that developed because of exceptional access to freight
rail and highways. The area is also developed with historic residences in the Optimist Park,
Belmont, Villa Heights, and the North Charlotte Historic District neighborhoods that once served
the mills and industrial areas along the rail corridor. These neighborhoods experienced
disinvestment in the past, but have seen revitalization efforts in earnest in the past five years. In
addition to by-right development, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department (Planning)
received numerous requests for rezonings from 2006 through 2009. Ten properties, totaling
approximately 75 acres received rezoning approvals within the North Charlotte segment. Nine of
December 2011 Page 12 Rev. 00

LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
the ten approvals changed zoning designations to Mixed-Use. A number of institutional and civic
land uses are also within this area including: Cordelia Park, the Little Sugar Creek Greenway,
the CATS Davidson Street Bus Facility and Bus Operations Division Administrative Offices,
Johnston Branch YMCA and various churches, schools and day care facilities.
Active industrial warehousing and trucking facilities are located north of 36th Street to Sugar
Creek Station. Beyond the Sugar Creek Station, land uses transition to residential and
commercial uses before the alignment transitions to North Tryon Street/US-29.
University City
Some of the largest tracts of undeveloped properties and new communities are located in the
University City area, which transitions from the older development along North Tryon Street/US-
29 to the more recently developed area. The land surrounding this area is primarily
undeveloped (greenfields), with scattered office, industrial and commercial uses found along
North Tryon Street/US-29 as the corridor progresses northward. The extension of University
City Blvd./US-49 is currently under construction. On the western side of North Tryon Street/US
29 is the Belgate development. This new mixed-use development currently houses two major
retail sites, an IKEA and a Wal-Mart. Portions of single-family residential uses are located in the
eastern part of the corridor.
The University City core area has the second largest concentration of retail and office space
outside of Center City Charlotte, as well as two of the biggest employment centers along the
Northeast Corridor - the Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) - University and the UNC Charlotte
campus. The University City core is located at the intersection of W.T. Harris Boulevard and
North Tryon Street/US-29 and includes shopping and entertainment uses, hotel and some
residential uses.
The UNC Charlotte campus was developed on its current site in 1961 and has approximately
950 acres of land between North Tryon Street/US-29, W.T. Harris Boulevard and East Mallard
Creek Church Road. The current UNC Charlotte Master Plan outlines additional expansion
plans to double the existing academic space from 1.2 million square feet to 2.2 million square
feet. UNC Charlotte anticipates a student population of 35,000 students by 2020.
3.4 Local Land Use and Transportation Plans
Traditional development patterns have generally followed a sprawling land use pattern. Low-
density residential uses have developed in isolation from employment centers and shopping.
Office parks, shopping centers, apartments and single-family subdivisions gradually creep
further and further from Center City Charlotte into the outer areas of the corridor. This pattern of
land use has resulted in the loss of open space, increased traffic congestion and commute
times, degradation of water and air quality and a general decline in quality of life.
The Northeast Corridor (See Figure 3), which is very similar in size, shape and location to the
FLUSA (see Figure 4), is classified as a growth corridor and the City and the County have
determined that it is an appropriate location for intense development, as identified in multiple
plans and policy guidelines. This corridor has grown over the past decade, and it is anticipated
that growth and development would continue with or without the proposed project.
Analysis performed as part of the Final EIS determined that the No-Build Alternative would
consist of a future scenario with no changes to planned transportation services or facilities in the
Northeast Corridor. As a result, direct project-generated changes to study area land uses would
not occur under the No-Build Alternative. With the No-Build Alternative, enhanced access to

Extension
transit associated with the implementation of the Preferred Alternative would not occur to
support future land use, as called for in adopted plans and policies. Therefore, the No-Build
Alternative would not be consistent with adopted land use controls, policies and guidelines.
The LYNX BLE would alter existing land uses at proposed station locations and along the
alignment where full and partial acquisitions would be undertaken to accommodate the
proposed project. In addition, benefits related to the potential induced development would also
result from the proposed project. This induced growth is consistent with adopted growth policies
that seek to encourage this development within the designated growth corridor. Existing land
use policies and development regulations support the development of the proposed project and
have been adopted to accommodate its implementation. The potential benefits include
enhanced development, access and the integration of transportation and land use, to create
sustainable growth within the region. In addition, existing and future development would be
served by the improved transportation access and travel options that the proposed project
would provide.
The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County are committed to development principles that
enhance the community and provide for sustainable growth. As such, the City of Charlotte and
Mecklenburg County have developed and adopted planning and policy documents to help guide
and manage land use; realizing that integrating transportation and land use is the key to
fostering sustainable growth.
The following is a description of those planning policies, documents and principles.
Centers, Corridors and Wedqes Growth Framework
The primary plan to guide growth in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County is a
comprehensive strategy based on the radial development of "Centers" (the focal point of activity
and mixed-use development) and "Corridors" (the five major transportation arterials that extend
from Center City Charlotte). The Centers and Corridors Vision Plan (1994) was updated and is
now called Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework (August 2010). The updated
version of the document builds on the scope of the original document, addressing the changing
real estate market, demographics, infrastructure needs and environmental concerns. The
updated document includes details on the development of areas surrounding proposed transit
stations. It also includes recommendations for areas that exist between the corridors known as
"Wedges."
The Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework strategy is designed to increase
development density in five proposed transit corridors, as well as a number of key nodes or
activity centers, as a means of managing growth and reducing sprawl in the City of Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County and the greater region. A key element of this plan is the development of a
regional transit system that would improve mobility, encourage balanced growth and support the
proposed land use initiatives in each of the five growth corridors. The Northeast Corridor is
identified as one of the five high-density corridors that is an appropriate location for new growth.
The Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework strategy is key to environmental
protection in the region. This strategy is especially important because it facilitates more compact
development and encourages more efficient use of land while increasing the potential for
conservation of open space and naturally sensitive areas.
2030 Transit Corridor Svstem Plan
The Metropolitan Transit Commission adopted the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan in 2006.
This long-range transit plan proposes improvements in five corridors, including the Northeast

Corridor. The completed transit plan would consist of 25 miles of commuter rail, 21 miles of light
rail and 16 miles of streetcar facilities. Figure 6 shows the layout of the proposed transit
corridors included in the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan.
2015 Plan: Planninq for Our Future
The centers and corridors concept was reinforced in the 2015 Plan: Planning for Our Future
adopted by City and County elected officials in November 1997. This policy document outlines
the desired urban future for the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, focusing on mixed-
use and pedestrian-oriented development at urban densities. The document highlights the
importance of strong community design in the transformation of the City of Charlotte and
Mecklenburg County into a more urban community. This document provided planning strategies
and set the stage for the development of the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan.
2025 Inteqrated Transit/Land Use Plan
The 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan, adopted in October 1998, provides extensive
technical analysis of the transit and land use concepts provided by the Centers and Corridors
vision and 2015 Plan. This plan identifies the Northeast Corridor as a high priority for transit
based on mobility needs. The 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan also details a land use
vision that focuses higher density development in station areas and activity centers where it can
be best served by rapid transit. The 2025 Plan includes general station area land use
recommendations and proposes modifications to policies and regulatory tools that can be
utilized to implement the region's transit and land use vision. The citizens of Mecklenburg
County approved a one half-cent sales tax in 1998 to support the vision and goals of this plan. A
key recommendation of the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan is to update the General
Development Policies to accommodate land uses and encourage design that supports transit.
General Development Policies
The General Development Policies were originally adopted in 1990 and provide the planning
principles for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department. They are the basis for
development of area-specific plans and are regularly updated. The General Development
Policies revise previous policies that allow the dispersal of multi-family development, and
redirects much of this denser development to major activity centers and transit corridors, as
outlined in the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework (August 2010). The General
Development Policies also outline a set of Transit Station Area Principles, to encourage transit-
supportive development along five transit corridors and focuses on creating compact
neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community services and recreational opportunities
all within %2-mile walking distance of transit stations. The intent is to create well-designed, livable
communities where people have transportation choices to travel from home to work, as well as
to meet other daily travel needs.
The Transit Station Area Principles provide direction for developing and redeveloping property
around transit stations in a way that makes it convenient for many people to use transit. Such
policies focus on land uses, mobility and community design. The Transit Station Area Principles
require the development of land use and urban design plans for the transit stations along each
of the five transit corridors and serve as a guide for development of the Station Area Plans. The
following principles apply to the areas within %2-mile walking distance of an identified rapid
transit station:
• Land Use and Development - Land uses should include a concentrated mixture of
complementary, well-integrated land uses within walking distance of the transit station. This
mix of uses should offer a range of living, shopping, working, and recreational options within

a compact, walkable area with ground floor uses that attract and generate pedestrian
activity. Increased land use intensity should be allowed that is appropriate to transit-
supportive communities. The highest densities of new development should be concentrated
closest to transit stations with a transition to lower densities adjacent to existing single-family
neighborhoods.
Mobility - The existing transportation network should be enhanced to promote good walking,
bicycle and transit connections. Transit-supportive environments require streets that are
designed to encourage use by all travel modes. Fast-moving cars are a safety risk to
pedestrians and bicyclists; therefore, transit environments should have a system of
connected streets that can deal with traffic in a more efficient manner than a system that
relies on arterial roadways. Design speeds, facilities and levels of congestion should
respond to the increased level of pedestrian and bicycling activity within transit-supportive
areas. The traditional network of streets improves the mobility of all modes of travel by
providing multiple travel routes for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Parking is also a
critical element of transit-supportive areas. The proper location and size of parking facilities
are essential in creating a transit-supportive setting. The size and location of parking
facilities are sensitive to the quality of the pedestrian environment.
Community and Urban Desiqn — The Transit Station Area Principles call for urban design to
be used to enhance the community identity of station areas and make them attractive, safe
and convenient places. Streetscapes are a key element of urban design since streets are
the most commonly used public spaces in a city. Streets should be auto-accommodating but
not auto-dominated, and the design of the sidewalk is as important as the design of the
street, potentially enhancing the local business climate and visual conditions. Public spaces
(parks, plazas and open space) serve as focal points for development and design elements
such as lights, trees, benches and landscaping should be included to make the pedestrian
feel safe and enjoy the space. In transit-supportive environments it is also important to
reinforce the important civic role of the transit station. This objective can be achieved with
the inclusion of parks and open space near transit stations as well as throughout transit-
supportive areas. In transit-supportive environments, primary access points to buildings
should be oriented to pedestrians. At the street level, the design of buildings should
incorporate elements that reflect a human scale.
Transportation Action Plan and Urban Street Desiqn Guidelines
The Transportation Action Plan (TAP) was adopted in 2006 and focuses on the long range
development of streets and other facilities to ensure that the transportation goals identified in
the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework (August 2010) are being met. The City
of Charlotte Urban Street Design Guidelines (USDG) were adopted in 2007 to supplement the
TAP by providing a comprehensive approach to the planning and design of streets in Charlotte.
The USDG offer guidance on streetscape recommendations for planning and design. The
USDG also aid in integrating land use and transportation through context-based design. The
TAP and USDG plans both adhere to the policies and recommendations of the Centers and
Corridors growth strategy. In addition, the TAP is scheduled for an update in 2011 as part of the
routine updates that occur every five years.
Transit Station Area Joint Development Principles and Policy Guidelines
In 2002, the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, the Metropolitan Transit Commission
(MTC), and the towns of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville and Matthews adopted the Transit
Station Area Joint Development Principles and Policy Guidelines. Adoption of the principles
provides a framework and subsequent tool for local governments and CATS to encourage and

promote transit-supportive development around transit stations. The principles and policy
guidelines include:
• Encouraging complementary public facilities around stations;
• Providing basic public infrastructure available through jurisdiction resources in station areas;
• Supporting the development of a variety of housing types near stations;
• Developing public/private partnerships aimed at promoting transit-supportive development;
• Providing incentives, establishing partnerships with the private sector, promoting
demonstration projects and removing barriers to encourage transit-supportive development;
and,
• Encouraging the location and retention of a healthy mix of private transit-supportive
businesses near transit stations.
Center Citv 2010 Vision Plan
The Center City 2010 Vision Plan was adopted by Charlotte City Council and the Mecklenburg
County Board of Commissioners in 2000. This plan was developed by citizens to help guide
growth within Center City Charlotte. The plan was adopted as a development policy to extend
the efforts of the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan. The plan encourages a mixture of uses
and high-density development in the Center City Charlotte area. This plan also recommends
light rail to improve transit operations within Center City Charlotte and provide an alternative to
automobile travel. The successor to the Center City 2010 Vision Plan is currently being
developed. Public involvement for the Center City 2020 Vision Plan began in 2009 and is on-
going. As with the Center City 2010 Vision Plan, the Center City 2020 Vision Plan will continue
to provide a development framework and planning recommendations for Center City Charlotte.
Northeast Area Plan
The Northeast District Plan, which provides a general land use framework for future growth and
development within the entire northeast quadrant of Charlotte, was adopted in 1997. In 2000,
the Northeast Area Plan was adopted by the Charlotte City Council and the Mecklenburg Board
of County Commissioners, which amends the Northeast District Plan. The Northeast Area Plan
provides a framework for future growth and development within a smaller area located generally
between North Tryon Street/US-29 and the Mallard Creek Road/I-485 interchange. The
Northeast Area Plan calls for integrated lands uses that can be served by a variety of
transportation choices, including transit. The plan details how transformation of the northeast
area can be designed to accommodate development that supports proposed transit
improvements, and serves as a guide for elected officials in making land use and zoning
decisions.
Universitv Citv Area Plan
The Charlotte City Council adopted the University City Area Plan in 2007. This plan was
prepared by University City Partners (UCP), who coordinates planning, marketing and other
activities within the University City Municipal Service District (MSD). The University City Area
Plan was developed and adopted to amend the Northeast District Plan and provides a
framework for future growth and development within the University City MSD, generally bound
by North Tryon Street/US-29, Interstate 85 (I-85), University City Blvd./NC-49 and Mallard Creek
Church Road. The University City Area Plan particularly pertains to the planned development of
light rail in the northeast Charlotte area. The central goal of the plan is to promote the corridor
and encourage development that will support and benefit from the development of light rail in
the Northeast District, of which the University City area serves as the core. The plan proposes
transit-oriented future land uses around potential transit stations along North Tryon Street/US-

29 and details development scenarios and design guidelines for the area. The University City
Area Plan is scheduled for an update in 2013.
Zoninq Requlations
The Northeast Corridor and FLUSA include properties that fall within a wide range of zoning
districts, reflecting varying types and intensities of residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
These vary from low-density districts of a more suburban character to high intensity, transit-
supportive districts.
Zoning changes may be necessary to permit the desired form of development consistent with
transit and supportive activities. As an implementation strategy for the development of property
surrounding the proposed stations (within a%2-mile radius), low-density districts may be
correctively rezoned with the appropriate transit-supportive zoning districts as part of the Station
Area Planning Process.
The three transit-supportive zoning districts in the currently adopted City of Charlotte Zoning
Ordinance are described below.
• The Uptown Mixed Use District (UMUD) is the most intense of Charlotte's zoning districts
and is applied to the Center City Charlotte area. The main purpose of this district is "to
strengthen the high-density core of the central city" by establishing minimum standards for
design and development. This district has no maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or height
restrictions and allows a range of transit-supportive uses.
• The Mixed Use Development District (MUDD) is another transit-supportive district that is
similar to UMUD. The MUDD district has no FAR limitation and permits a range of transit-
oriented uses. Building heights are generally limited to 120 feet, but can be exceeded under
certain conditions.
• The Transit Oriented Development District (TOD) is another transit-supportive zoning district
that is potentially applicable to the areas surrounding the proposed stations.
In October 2003, the Charlotte City Council approved a new set of TOD Zoning Districts
applicable to areas within approved transit station area plans. The purpose of the TOD Zoning
Districts is to encourage the transition of future station areas to more compact urban growth
centers, with opportunities for increased choice of transportation modes and a safe and
pleasant pedestrian environment. This ordinance requires streetscape improvements, a
functional mix of complementary uses and the provision of facilities that support transit use,
bicycling, and walking. The three main TOD districts and their general requirements are listed
below.
• The Residentially Oriented (TOD-R) zoning district requires proposed development to have
at least 80 percent residential use, a minimum density of 20 units per acre for parcels within
'/4-mile from a transit station, or a minimum density of 15 units per acre for parcels located
between '/4-mile and %2-mile from a transit station.
• The Employment Oriented (TOD-E) zoning district requires at least 60 percent office uses, a
minimum density of 0.75 FAR within '/4-mile from a transit station or a minimum density of
0.50 FAR between'/4-mile and %2-mile from a transit station.
• The Mixed-Use Oriented (TOD-M) zoning district requires a blend of high-density residential,
high-intensity employment/office, civic, entertainment, and institutional uses along with retail
uses. This zoning district requires a minimum density of 0.75 FAR within '/4-mile of a transit
station, or a minimum density of 0.50 FAR in areas between '/4-mile and %2-mile of a transit
station. TOD-M also requires a minimum density of 20 units per acre for parcels within '/4-

mile of a transit station, or a minimum density of 15 units per acre for parcels located
between '/4-mile and %2-mile of a transit station.
The City has also implemented a number of overlay districts, including the Pedestrian Overlay
District (PED) and the Transit Supportive Overlay (TS), to help encourage transit-supportive
development. These overlay districts are designed to allow a mixture of transit-supportive uses
that are developed in a pedestrian-friendly manner.
Station Area Planninq
CATS and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department have developed Station Area
Concepts for the Northeast Corridor to identify transit-supportive development opportunities and
outline the unique characteristics critical to integrating each station with its surrounding area.
Building on the Station Area Concepts developed for the proposed project, as well as other
plans (such as the University City Area Plan), CATS and Planning are preparing detailed Station
Area Plans to guide the specific land use changes and infrastructure projects necessary to
implement transit-supportive development around each station in the Northeast Corridor and the
FLUSA. These Station Area Plans will be prepared with area stakeholders and citizens; and the
plans will continue to evolve as the proposed LYNX BLE moves through the planning process
and into the implementation phase. It anticipated that these Station Area Plans will be
completed within the next two years.
The Transit Station Area Principles would be applied to each station and current zoning
surrounding these stations would be replaced with transit-supportive zoning. Once developed
and adopted, the Station Area Plans would serve as a blueprint to guide growth and
development surrounding the stations. Public input is encouraged throughout the process of
Station Area Plan adoption.
Implementation would follow the formal adoption of Station Area Plans. Implementation includes
zoning changes within the station areas and capital improvements surrounding the stations.
Thus far, the University City Area Plan has been adopted (October 2007) and contains Station
Area Plans for the stations in the University City area. The University City Area Plan will be
updated in 2012. Station Area Plans have also been developed for the Sugar Creek Station and
Old Concord Road Station and were presented to the public in July 2007 and January 2008.
Station Area Plans are being refined for these stations and have not yet been adopted. Station
Area Plans for the stations are in development and it is anticipated that planning for the 25th,
36th and Sugar Creek Stations would begin in June 2011. Planning for the University City Blvd.
Station would begin in June of 2012; after the University City Plan update. Planning for the Old
Concord Road and Tom Hunter Stations would begin in June 2013.
Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation 10 Year Master Plan: 2008-2018 provides a
framework for the development of park and recreation facilities as well as for conservation
goals. The plan includes a Greenways Master Plan and Natural Preserves Master Plan. The
Master Plan used a process called "Greenprinting," which identifies properties as important
pieces of our natural environment that could be brought under stewardship for preservation and
conservation purposes. The plans cite protection of forested habitat, riparian habitat,
endangered species protection and maintenance of critical watersheds as the primary purpose
for the program. The Master Plan considers potential properties as targets for "stewardship."
Stewardship can be by the County, Mecklenburg's cities and towns, conservation groups such
as Trust for Public Land or the Catawba Lands Conservancy or by conservation easements on
private property.

Roadway Proiects and Other Capital Improvements
Future roadway improvements are identified in MUMPO's financially constrained 2035 LRTP.
Projects that are listed as programmed are scheduled to be undertaken within the next five to
seven years, and are included in the NCDOT's TIP or the City of Charlotte's CIP. Planned
roadway improvements are those that have been identified in the financially constrained Long
Range Transportation Plan, but have not yet been programmed and funded in the current TIP or
CIP. Numerous transportation improvements, including North Tryon Street/US-29 were
identified as needed transportation improvements, but were not funded in the 2035 LRTP.
The adopted transportation plans at the time of analysis were used as the basis for the Final

Other Transportation Proiects
• Charlotte Rail Improvement and Safetv Proiect (CRISP): Several rail companies and
government agencies are working to improve the overall railway system in the Charlotte
region. These entities include: NCDOT, CATS, the City of Charlotte, CSX Transportation
(CSX), NS, and the NCRR. The goal of the CRISP is to create or maintain accommodations
for potential higher rail speeds along the entire rail corridor (see Figure 7). The proposed
Light Rail Alternative preserves the future CRISP project through a shift of the existing
freight tracks to the west at 36th Street. This shift accommodates the proposed CRISP
project and allows adequate separation between the freight and light rail tracks, while
preserving the historic buildings along the east side of the corridor.
• Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Proqram (NECI): The City of Charlotte has initiated this
program of infrastructure improvements, which are intended to support and encourage
future development in the Northeast Corridor. The program will include intersection
enhancements, improved connectivity, streetscapes, sidewalks and bicycle routes.
Implementation of these improvements will enhance access to neighborhoods and
businesses and promote transit-oriented development in station areas. The program will be
similar to the South Corridor Infrastructure Program (SCIP) implemented in parallel with the
South Corridor Light Rail Project.
• Hiqh Speed Rail: North Carolina and Virginia have formed a bi-state commission to review
and encourage the development of a high speed (110 mph) passenger rail service from
Washington, D.C. to Charlotte. Plans call for an increase in passenger rail service over a 20-
year period between Charlotte, Raleigh, Richmond, and Washington D.C., which would
result in significant reductions to travel time through track upgrades and expansions. The
timing of the high speed rail is unknown at this time.
3.6 Environmental Regulations
Growth is a necessary process that contributes to the economic vitality of communities.
However, growth and resulting development can present challenges to protection of the
environment that the community depends on. Federal, state and local governments have come
to recognize the connection between livability, economic vitality and environmental protection.
As a result, plans, ordinances and regulations have been implemented that help provide
direction for growth without undermining the quality of our environment. The following is a
summary of plans, ordinance and regulations that have been put in place to specifically address
the effects that growth and development may have on water quality issues.
Federal
Any action that proposes to place fill into jurisdictional wetland and stream areas falls under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USCOE) and the NCDWQ. This is pursuant to
Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 USC 1344.
Section 404, Clean Water Act (CWA):
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredged, excavated, or fill
material in wetlands, streams, rivers, and other U.S. waters. The USCOE is the federal agency
authorized to issue Section 404 Permits for certain activities conducted in wetlands or other
U.S. waters. Depending on the scope of the project and method of construction, certain
activities may require this permit. This permit will require the discussion of the measures
employed throughout planning and design in order to avoid/minimize effects to "waters of the
U.S." The Section 404 permit application will also include a compensatory mitigation proposal,
which outlines the plan to provide compensation to offset permanent losses of waters of the
December 2011 Page 24 Rev. 00

LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
U.S. In addition, when a Section 404 permit is required, a Section 401 water quality certification
typically will also be obtained from the state environmental agency with jurisdiction over the
project (NCDWQ). A total of 13 jurisdictional streams and nine jurisdictional wetlands were
located within the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR; July 2010) project study area.
The NRTR study area consisted of a corridor approximately 400 feet wide centered along the
proposed alignment. Nine jurisdictional streams and six jurisdictional wetland areas located
within the NRTR project corridor are proposed to be directly impacted by the project. Any
effects to jurisdictional waters would require Section 404 permitting through the USCOE and will
be addressed in the Section 404 Individual Permit application.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) No-Rise Certification:
Any project in a floodway must be reviewed to determine if the project will increase flood
heights. An engineering analysis will be conducted and a permit will be applied for if required.
The community's permit file will record the results of this analysis, which can be in the form of a
No-Rise Certification. The supporting technical data will be based on the standard step-
backwater computer model used to develop the 100-year floodway shown on the Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM). Any proposed
projects that would result in effects to a designated floodplain would be required to meet FEMA
requirements. A No-Rise Certification will be obtained if it is determined that the proposed
project would not cause an increase in flood elevations at these locations. Coordination and
approval with the Local Floodplain Administrator would also be required as part of this process.
State
Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin Plan:
The NCDWQ prepared the Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin Plan (2008) to balance water quality
and urbanization. The Yadkin-Pee Dee Basin is the second largest in North Carolina and spans
21 counties. Increasing nutrient enrichment, urbanization, and wastewater are the primary
effects to this basin. Most of these effects result from development activities within Forsyth,
Rowan, Iredell, Cabarrus and Davidson counties. Stream and water quality degradation are
directly related to development and population density intensification, which results in
cumulative impervious surface increases. The goal of the plan is to identify water quality
problems, develop management strategies that protect and restore water quality and allow for
sustainable economic growth within the basin. The plan encourages support for implementation
of best management practices, sediment and erosion control programs and local stormwater
control ordinances.
Catawba River Basin Plan:
The NCDWQ also prepared the Catawba River Basin Plan (2010) to balance water quality and
urbanization. A total of 13 streams are listed as "impaired" within the basin. The plan identifies
opportunities to restore impaired waters in the basin, identify and protect high value resource
waters and special biological communities and to protect unimpaired waters while allowing for
reasonable economic growth. The plan also recommends buffer requirements be adopted by
municipalities to reduce pollutants running off land and into surface waters.
Section 401 Water Quality Certification:
In addition to a Section 404 Permit, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification will also be
required for projects which may result in a discharge of pollutants into waters of the U.S.
Applicants for these projects must obtain a state water quality certification that the activity
complies with all applicable water quality standards, limitations, and restrictions. North
Carolina uses the authority granted to them under the CWA Section 401 certification to manage
December 2011 Page 25 Rev. 00

Extension
certain activities that impact state-regulated wetland and water resources. Section 401 gives
states the authority to grant, deny, or condition certification of Federal permits or licenses (i.e.,
CWA Section 404 permits issued by the USCOE) that may result in a discharge to waters of the
U.S. Such action is taken by the state to ensure compliance with various provisions of the CWA.
The NCDWQ reviews and issues Water Quality Certifications that mirror the type of USCOE
permit that is required. Effects to waters of the U.S. that require permitting under Section 401
are essentially the same as those of the Section 404 requirements, except that NCDWQ has
jurisdiction over isolated waters and wetlands and the USCOE does not. In addition, an indirect
and cumulative effects analysis of the proposed project on water quality may be required as part
of the 401 certification process.
Another key element in NCDWQ's approval of Section 401 Water Quality Certifications is a
review of a Stormwater Management Plan (SMP). When percent impervious thresholds are
exceeded, NCDWQ or the delegated authority will typically require a SMP that provides 85%
removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). For the proposed LYNX BLE, a SMP will be prepared
as part of final design. The City of Charlotte is a Certified Local Government by the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), and the SMP will be
submitted to the City for review and certification. The NCDWQ confirmed in an e-mail from Polly
Lespinasse on October 31, 2011, that the SMP will be reviewed by the City of Charlotte since
the City operates a delegated NPDES Phase II program (described further below). Wet
detention ponds and/or bio-retention water quality treatment BMP's specifically for the proposed
park-and-ride facilities were designed in accordance with City and State guidelines to provide
85% TSS removal from the stormwater run-off.
Well Abandonment/Closure Process:
Wells that are not properly abandoned or maintained could allow pollution to enter the well and
contaminate the water supply. In North Carolina, contractors must build wells in accordance with
the North Carolina Well Construction Requirements found in Title 15A, North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 2C .0100, and be certified as a Well Contractor, by the State's
Well Contractors Certification Commission under Title 15A, NCAC 27. Specific rules on proper
well abandonment are found in N.C. Well Construction Regulations and Standards. All wells that
are no longer in use and will be impacted by potential development must complete the
abandonment/closure process to seal the out-of-service well, as required by NCDENR, prior to
construction of the proposed project. The general process for well abandonment/closure
includes disinfection and filling of the well by a certified well contractor. The well is then sealed
and a record of abandonment is filed with the NCDENR.
Storm Water National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits:
The NPDES permitting program was established as part of the Clean Water Act in 1972. The
NCDWQ must issue permits to stormwater operators of point source discharges associated with
construction activities when construction-related land disturbances (for both private and public
sector projects) are expected to exceed one acre. The City of Charlotte obtained a federal
NPDES Phase 1 permit (for cities with more than 100,000 residents) in 1993 and formed
Charlotte Stormwater Services as part of that permit. With the institution of stormwater fees, the
city was able to improve the drainage infrastructure and eliminate many sources of stormwater
pollution. Mecklenburg County began a fee-based Stormwater Service program in 1994,
providing services to Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill and Davidson. The
county received a NPDES Phase II permit in 2005 for these six towns to take further steps
towards decreasing stormwater pollution. In addition, local stormwater departments (Charlotte-
December 2011 Page 26 Rev. 00

LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
Mecklenburg Storm Water Services) must also be consulted to ensure continued involvement
and compliance with NPDES.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control:
The North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR) requires that an erosion and
sedimentation plan be approved for a proposed project before construction activities may
commence. This plan will exhibit protection of disturbed areas from stormwater runoff; methods
for stabilizing disturbed areas; methods for keeping runoff velocities low; and methods for
retaining sediment on site. A permit application demonstrating these measures is submitted to
the NCDLR at least 30 days before land disturbance. Construction activities will not commence
until the erosion and sedimentation plan is approved. This permit will be issued by the NCDLR.
Local
Additional Floodplain Regulations:
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), in cooperation with federal, state,
and local governments, has developed floodway boundaries and Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM) for Mecklenburg County. A FEMA Floodway is the channel of a river or other
watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base
flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height.
Floodplains are land areas adjacent to rivers and streams that are subject to recurring
inundation. Owing to their continually changing nature, Community Floodplains, Community
Encroachment Areas and other flood-prone areas need to be examined in light of how they
might affect or be affected by development. Community Floodplains were established by
Mecklenburg County in 2000. Unlike FEMA floodplains which are established by FEMA officials
and identify current floodway boundaries. Community Floodplains identify what areas will be
prone to flooding in the future, once land upstream is paved and built upon. As such, they are
known as the future floodplains or Community Floodplains. The Community Encroachment Area
is a floodway with a surcharge of 0.1 foot. This creates a wider floodway than the FEMA
Floodway. The floodplain regulations restrict development from occurring within these areas.
Rivers and streams where FEMA has prepared detailed engineering studies may have
designated floodways. For most waterways, the floodway is where the water is likely to be
deepest and fastest and is the area of the floodplain that should be reserved (kept free of
obstructions) to allow floodwaters to move downstream. Placing fill or buildings in a floodway
may block the flow of water and increase flood elevations.
For the LYNX BLE, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (SWS) reviewed the 15%
Preliminary Engineering Design Plans dated January 6 and January 20, 2009 and requested
that the project engineers work with Charlotte and County Stormwater Services to make sure
that the proposed work does not significantly impact FEMA Floodways, Community Floodplains
and Community Encroachment Areas and that the appropriate approvals and permits are
obtained. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services will also review the final design plans to
ensure the LYNX BLE's compliance with floodway and floodplain regulations.
Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR):
All requests for CLOMRs within the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
go through SWS. A CLOMR is FEMA's comment on a proposed project that would, upon
construction, affect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding source; thus resulting
in the modification of the existing regulatory floodway, the effective Base Flood Elevations
(BFEs) or the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The CLOMR letter does not revise an

effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. It indicates whether the project, if built
as proposed, would be recognized by FEMA.
Stormwater Management Plan:
Stormwater runoff must be managed properly or the water runoff can cause detriment to area
water resources. The City of Charlotte's and Mecklenburg County's Stormwater Management
Plan requires that the government, businesses and private citizens work together to reduce
flood risks and improve water quality. Significant construction projects require an approved
Stormwater Management Plan before a permit is issued. The Stormwater Management Plan is
regulated through Charlotte-Mecklenburg SWS and deals with the collection and treatment of
impervious surface water collection.
The general process for obtaining a Stormwater Management Permit is available from

ess. as x .
Post Construction Controls Ordinance (PCCO):
NCDENR issued the 2005 NPDES Phase II permit to stormwater jurisdictions in Mecklenburg
County, as part of the Clean Water Act. Mecklenburg County and the Towns of Cornelius,
Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville (co-permittees) were required to
include the implementation of six minimum measures to control pollutants in stormwater runoff
to the maximum extent practicable. One of these six measures was the development and
implementation of a PCCO within two years of the issuance of the permit. As a result, the
county and these six towns adopted PCCOs by 2007. A PCCO ordinance is a comprehensive
water protection measure that applies to development and redevelopment activities, and
requires the use of structural stormwater controls, stream buffers and open space to reduce
stormwater pollution and flooding. Compliance with the PCCO is a step in the Stormwater
Management permitting process described previously in this section. Following construction,
project inspections will be performed to ensure compliance with the conditions of the
Stormwater Management Plan permit and other regulations.
Surface Water Improvement Management (SWIM) Buffers:
The objective of the SWIM program is to implement the basic steps necessary to stabilize water
quality and prevent further degradation. The purpose of the stream buffer network is to ensure a
proactive approach to ensure that the stream and adjacent lands will fulfill their natural
functions. The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County adopted the SWIM ordinance in 1999.
Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill and Davidson adopted similar SWIM
ordinances between 1999 and 2002. Stream functions are important for the conveying of storm
and ground water, storing floodwater and supporting aquatic and other life. Vegetated lands
adjacent to the stream channel in the drainage basin serve as a buffer to protect the stream
systems ability to fulfill its natural functions. Primary natural functions of the buffer that improve
water quality include allowing streams to meander and flow naturally, filtering pollutants,
providing storage for floodwaters and providing natural habitat for wildlife. Mitigation is required
for unavoidable or approved buffer effects within any of the buffer zones. This mitigation basis
shall allow the property owner or other entity the opportunity to disturb a buffer, provided that
steps are taken to offset the buffer loss. The SWIM program also provides incentives to offset
restrictions that buffer requirements place on development. These incentives promote open
space development that incorporates smaller lot sizes to minimize total impervious area within
the development, reduce total construction costs, conserve natural areas, provide community
recreational space and promote protection of streams. In addition, redevelopment or expansions

to uses included in the above categories are not subject to the buffer requirements unless it
would result in an increase in the total impervious area within the buffer. Development is
required to comply with the specifications provided in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Land
Development Standards Manual for stabilization of disturbed areas to minimize negative water
quality effects. The SWIM program is implemented as part of the building permit approval
process.
Several of the creeks and tributaries in the study area have defined SWIM buffers. Most of the
buffers are 35 feet wide; however, there are several larger 100-foot SWIM buffers in the study
area that are associated with the named creeks including Little Sugar Creek, Toby Creek and
Mallard Creek.
4.0 NOTABLE FEATURES INVENTORY
The FLUSA contains notable human and natural environment features that were inventoried
and described in more detail in separate technical memoranda and in the Final EIS chapters.
This information was used to assess potential cumulative effects to these resources based on
location, proximity to the proposed project and relationship to the proposed project. Table 11
provides a brief summary of notable natural environment resources related to water quality
issues.

Watersheds
The proposed LYNX BLE would be located the Catawba and Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basins (see
Figure 8 and Figures 8a-8c). The southern portion of the FLUSA is located within the Lower
Catawba portion of the Catawba River Basin, which is referred to as the Santee River Basin by
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The northern portion of the FLUSA is located within the
Rocky River portion of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, which is referred to as the Upper Pee
Dee River Basin by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Major streams (Upper Little Sugar
Creek and Briar Creek) in the Lower Catawba watershed and FLUSA generally flow in a
southerly direction, while streams (like Mallard Creek) in the Rocky River watershed and FLUSA
generally flow in a northeasterly direction. Little Sugar Creek (Stream Index number 11-137-8)
and Briar Creek (Stream Index number 11-137-8-2) are classified as Class C waters. There are
no restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges for Class C waters. No high

quality waters (HQV�, water supplies (WS-I or WS-II), or outstanding resource waters (ORV�
occur within one-mile of the study area.
Streams
GIS mapping reveals that there are scattered streams throughout the FLUSA. Major streams
such as Little Sugar Creek, Derita Branch and Briar Creek are located in the Lower Catawba
watershed within the FLUSA. Toby Creek and Mallard Creek are located in the Rocky River
watershed within the FLUSA.
Surface water features, or drainages, within the LYNX BLE project corridor were evaluated to
determine the types of streams (i.e., perennial streams, intermittent streams, or ephemeral
channels), according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) and NCDWQ guidelines. Each
feature was evaluated as to whether it was defined as a"water of U.S." by the USCOE or
whether it was included in the jurisdiction of the NCDWQ. A total of 14 jurisdictional streams
were identified within the project corridor; see Figure 9 for the location of streams within the
project corridor.
303(d) Impaired Waters
Little Sugar Creek (Stream Index number 11-137-8a), from the source to Archdale Road (see
Figure 8) is listed as biologically impaired on the 303(d) list. The listed impairment is for fecal
coliform bacteria, primarily from urban run-off and sewer leaks. The Little Sugar Creek
watershed is located entirely within the City of Charlotte and is approximately 20 miles long and
is split into three segments. The full length of the creek drains dense residential urban areas as
well as industrial parks upstream. The low biological rating is not uncommon in a highly urban
and densely populated area and Little Sugar Creek has historically been considered one of the
most impaired streams in the state. Agencies and local stakeholders have made improvements
to help restore water quality within this stream. Steam restoration projects include sediment
control, stabilization projects, non-point pollution elimination, open space preservation and
development of a greenway. Since the late 1990s, bacteria levels within Little Sugar Creek have
decreased almost 75 percent. Little Sugar Creek crosses the LYNX BLE project corridor near
East 28th Street.
Wetlands
GIS mapping reveals that there are 50 scattered wetlands throughout the FLUSA totaling
approximately 20.88 acres. The largest complex of wetlands is near the northern terminus of the
project, within %2-mile of the proposed UNC Charlotte Station (Figure 8c). This complex of
wetlands was included in the field surveys for the proposed LYNX BLE that were conducted
from September 2008 through November 2009. Potential wetland communities were first
identified by reviewing National Wetlands Inventory maps and hydric soil lists for the study area
and then conducting field visits to verify the presence/absence of a wetland. Boundaries of the
wetlands were determined through observations of vegetation and surficial hydrology, as well as
soil samples.
The results of the on-site field review conducted by environmental scientists indicate that there
are six jurisdictional wetland areas located within the NRTR study area, as shown in Figure 9.
These jurisdictional wetland boundaries were delineated, flagged in the field and the boundaries
were approximated utilizing global positioning systems. All jurisdictional wetland area
boundaries have been verified by the USCOE and a Notification of Determination was issued on
October 21, 2009 and updated on December 2, 2009.

Floodplains
GIS mapping of water resources within the FLUSA includes the FEMA mapped floodplains
associated with the major streams such as Little Sugar Creek, Toby Creek and Mallard Creek
(Figure 10). According to the FIRM maps for Mecklenburg County, the LYNX BLE falls outside
of the FEMA 100-year floodplain, with the exception of proposed crossings of Little Sugar
Creek, Toby Creek and the encroachment into the floodplain at the proposed 36th Street
Station. The Little Sugar Creek Community Floodplain is within the project corridor and extends
for approximately 400 feet along the north side of North Brevard Street. The floodplain area
along the south side of North Brevard Street extends for approximately 300 feet. An existing
bridge on North Brevard Street crosses Little Sugar Creek adjacent to the study area. The Little
Sugar Creek floodplain west of 36th Street extends along the project corridor for approximately
500 feet, to the proposed 36th Street Station. The portion of Toby Creek within the project
corridor has a wide Community Floodplain that extends for nearly 1,000 feet along the
alignment. The floodplain widths at Toby Creek extend from 600 to 800 feet perpendicular
across the channel. See Figure 10 for floodplain locations within the project corridor.
Protected Species
There are four federally protected species with known occurrences in Mecklenburg County. As
part of the technical studies conducted for the EIS, general surveys were conducted within the
study area for the federally and state listed species with the exception of aquatic surveys.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Land Use and Environmental Services Agency (LUESA) regularly tests
stream systems for fish, macroinvertebrates and benthos. The Carolina heelsplitter has not
been located within Mecklenburg County within recent years and is believed to be extirpated
from Mecklenburg County (North Carolina Natural Heritage Program website, 2009). Table 12

Parks and Recreation Facilities
Information on park and recreation facilities was obtained through field surveys, the City of

U.S. Land and Water Conservation Fund. Therefore, no park and recreation facilities regulated
under Section 6(� of the U.S. Land and Water Conservation Fund exist.
The publicly-owned park and recreation facilities within the study area are owned and operated
by MCPR. Additional park and recreation resources in the proposed project corridor are located
on the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) campus, which is a state-
owned university; however, park and recreation facilities located on the campus are not open to
the general public, with the exception of the UNC Charlotte Fitness Trails that are currently
maintained by MCPR. MCPR also has access easements on the campus for the use of trails
that are part of the Mecklenburg County Greenway Plan.
Existing facilities in the study area include three parks, two greenways, one greenway
connector, one recreation center (private, non-profit) and one special facility. A planned
greenway is also located within the study area. In addition, MCPR is currently in discussion with
owners of two parcels. These parcels could be transferred to MCPR in the reasonable and
foreseeable future for potential park uses. These facilities are part of MCPR's plan to provide
recreational facilities as well as promote conservation with open space, natural preserves and
greenways. Figures 11 a and 11 b detail the location of parks and recreation facilities.
5.0 IMPACT-CAUSING ACTIVITIES
5.1 Development Activity
Development activity in the FLUSA is increasing as the Northeast Corridor provides a vital link
between two major activity centers in the area; Center City Charlotte and University City. Center
City Charlotte has seen development in the last decade consisting primarily of office and
residential uses. University City has likewise seen a considerable amount of development
activity in all sectors, including office, retail, commercial and residential (single-family and multi-
family) uses. As such, the pace of new development, infill development and redevelopment
initiatives has intensified along the Northeast Corridor between these two major activity centers.
This development activity includes:
Charlotte Research Institute (CRI): The CRI campus covers 102 acres of land on UNC
Charlotte's grounds and currently contains eight buildings. Construction is underway for a
ninth building for Bioinformatics and construction will soon begin on three additional
buildings for engineering research and education.
UNC Charlotte Master Plan: To accommodate increased student enrollment and the
expanded educational mission of UNC Charlotte, a campus master plan has been
developed that outlines expansion needed to accommodate future growth. Expanded
academic, administrative and student support space will result in the addition of nearly two
million square feet of facilities in the campus core. An additional 275,000 square feet of
development is expected for student fitness, health education and recreational support. A
conference center and hotel and a 40,000 square foot visitor's center are also included.
Belqate: On the western side of North Tryon Street/US 29 is the Belgate development. This
new mixed-use development currently houses two major retail sites, an IKEA and a Wal-
Mart. Portions of single-family residential uses are located in the eastern part of the corridor.
Rezoninq Requests: The Planning Department has received numerous requests for
rezonings in the corridor since 2006. There were 64 approved rezoning cases in the project
corridor since 2006. Eleven of those cases consisted of requests to rezone industrial
properties to high density residential or mixed-use zoning classifications. Ten cases
consisted of requests to increase residential zoning to a higher density or mixed use. The

number of requests for rezonings in the corridor demonstrates that the corridor has and
continues to attract development/redevelopment potential and interest. Furthermore, these
incremental projects demonstrate the continuing transition of the corridor, with a major
regional activity center and a vital regional connection to other activity centers and corridors.
5.2 Water and Sewer Availability
The proposed project is located in an area that ranges from densely urban to
vacant/undeveloped land. The majority of the FLUSA is served by water and sewer. As such,
the outer portions of the FLUSA demonstrate the potential to develop and/or transition to higher
intensity uses; however, this is likely to occur with or without the proposed project.
Water and sewer facilities in the vicinity of the proposed project corridor are owned and
operated by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities. Water mains and sewer mains can be found within
the proposed project corridor, primarily along North Tryon Street/US-29 and at roadway
crossings with the existing rail corridor. Water and sewer services may expand in the
vacant/undeveloped areas in the northeast portions of the FLUSA; however, most of the
vacant/undeveloped land is more than %2-mile from the stations.
6.0 ANALYSIS OF INDIRECT EFFECTS
Interviews with City of Charlotte staff, review of population and employment projections, and
professional judgment provided a foundation for determining the potential for project-induced
growth and changes in land use/development patterns in the FLUSA. NCDOT Guidance on
Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment (November 2001) provided a method for
assessment of potential effects that includes an evaluation of the factors in the sections that
follow.
The No-Build Alternative is not included in the assessment of indirect effects. If the project is not
constructed, land use/development patterns are likely to continue as they are now.
6.1 Potential Indirect Effects
The potential for growth and land use changes in the FLUSA as a result of the LYNX BLE is
low-to-moderate. Most of the FLUSA contains neighborhoods in an urban or suburban setting.
Overall, the proposed project is not likely to cause a substantial change in type or intensity of
land use. The FLUSA will experience growth and development in the study time frame with or
without the proposed project, as evidenced by population and employment projections. The
proposed project is not likely to influence if growth will occur in the corridor, but rather where
and how the growth would occur.
Based on the interview with the City of Charlotte staff, the FLUSA would experience infill
development, revitalization, and redevelopment. Growth associated with the proposed project
would occur in a more compact development pattern due to the incentives to provide Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) opportunities at station areas that have a higher potential for land
use changes and redevelopment. Project-induced activity would occur around proposed stations
consistent with land use plans and policies adopted to guide and manage the anticipated growth
in the area. The proposed project also could affect the timing of planned/future developments as
development in the station areas could occur in anticipation of the light rail.
Project-induced development and/or redevelopment would be focused specifically around
proposed station locations. These areas are either targeted for TOD, contain parcels slated for

non-TOD at this time, or would be susceptible to changes due to the location of proposed
stations. The area within %2-mile radius of the proposed stations is most likely to experience the
greatest indirect effects.
The FTA considers %2-mile to be a safe and convenient distance to walk to public transit.
Because of the accessibility and walkability, transit stations often become focused development
areas that are expected to experience effects as a result of a transit project. TOD focuses on
creating compact neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community services, and
recreational opportunities all within a%2-half mile walking distance of a transit station. Project-
related indirect effects outside of this area are not as likely.
Some stations are more susceptible to changes in the magnitude, duration, likelihood, and
location of growth. The Secondary and Cumulative Effects Assessment Technical Memorandum
includes a more detailed assessment of development potential at the station areas. Overall, 9th
Street, McCullough, University City Blvd./NC-49, and the UNC Charlotte stations have the
strongest development/redevelopment opportunities, with the 9th Street Station ranking highest
in terms of development potential. The 36th Street and Parkwood Stations are also areas with
moderate infill development/redevelopment opportunities. Sugar Creek, 25th Street, Old
Concord Road, and Tom Hunter Stations have the most limited development opportunities,
particularly without substantial public incentives. Potential positive and negative indirect effects
from the project are listed in Table 13, as determined by the Secondary and Cumulative Effects
Assessment Technical Memorandum.

6.2 Indirect Effects on Notable Features
LYNX

Extension
LYNX BLE Preferred Alternative
Water Resources, Water Quality and Natural Resources
Surface waters and wetlands in the area have been extensively altered by urban development
within the last few decades. Effects to water resources in the FLUSA may result from other
development activities.
Based on this qualitative assessment, induced growth as a result of the LYNX BLE could have
an indirect effect on water resources and water quality. It is anticipated that growth resulting
from the proposed project would occur at a low-to-moderate rate. It is expected that growth and
development would occur within the corridor at lower densities and in a less concentrated
manner if the project is not constructed and local transit-related ordinances are not
implemented. Because of this, the Preferred Alternative could have fewer effects to water
resources and water quality than the No-Build Alternative.
As noted, FTA considers %2-mile to be a safe and convenient distance to walk to public transit.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department's General Development Policies encourage
compact neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community services and recreational
opportunities all within %2-mile walking distance of transit stations, and the City has a set of TOD
Zoning Districts to encourage the transition of future station areas to more compact urban
growth centers.
For this reason, and because potential land use changes as a result of the project are most
likely within %2-mile of the proposed stations, an evaluation of existing land use/development,
water resources (based on GIS mapping) and potential for future development are identified for
each proposed station. Reference Figures 8a, 8b, and 8c for a visual depiction of these %2-mile
areas and the water resources located within them.
9th Street Station:
The 9th Street Station is located in Center City Charlotte. Existing land uses are a fairly
balanced mix of single-family residential, multi-family residential, institutional, office and
industrial, with some commercial scattered throughout. Approximately 36% of the area within
%2-mile of the proposed station is vacant, and the potential for development/redevelopment is
strong.
The 9th Street Station, and most of the area within %2-mile of it, is located within the Upper Little
Sugar Creek Watershed, which is part of the Lower Catawba portion of the Catawba River
Basin. There are a number of small streams in the vicinity, which appear to be unnamed
tributaries to the Little Sugar Creek, a 303(d) impaired water located about %2-mile southeast of
the proposed station. There are floodplains associated with the Little Sugar Creek; however,
GIS mapping does not reveal any wetlands within %2-mile of the proposed station.
Parkwood Station:
The area near the proposed Parkwood Station has industrial uses that developed because of
exceptional access to freight rail and highways. The area is also developed with older
residences that once served the mills and industrial areas along the rail corridor. Approximately
42% of the area within %2-mile of the proposed station is vacant. There have been a number of
rezoning approvals (to mixed-use) in recent years, indicating a moderate potential for infill
development/redevelopment opportunities.

All of the area within %2-mile of the proposed Parkwood Station is within the Upper Little Sugar
Creek Watershed. There are small streams in the vicinity of the proposed station, and these
streams appear to be unnamed tributaries to the Little Sugar Creek, located about '/4-mile
southeast of the proposed station. There are floodplains associated with the Little Sugar Creek;
however, GIS mapping does not reveal any wetlands within %2-mile of the proposed station.
25th Street Station:
The area near the proposed 25th Street Station also has a predominance of industrial uses that
developed because of access to freight rail and highways. Most of the industrial uses in this
area are related to the Norfolk Southern intermodal facility. Single-family residences historically
developed to serve the mills and industrial areas along the rail corridor. Approximately 36% of
the area within %2-mile of the proposed station is vacant. However, plans for additional multi-
family and commercial development indicate some interest by the private development
community for new construction within this station area. However, redevelopment will be
challenging without additional infrastructure improvements.
All of the area within %2-mile of the proposed 25th Street Station is within the Upper Little Sugar
Creek Watershed. Tributaries of the Little Sugar Creek are located on the northwest side of the
rail corridor, and Little Sugar Creek is located just southeast of the proposed station. This 303(d)
impaired water crosses the LYNX BLE corridor in between the 25th Street and 36th Street
Stations. There are floodplains associated with the Little Sugar Creek, but GIS mapping does
not reveal any wetlands within %2-mile of the proposed station.
36th Street Station:
The proposed 36th Street Station would be located in the core of the North Davidson (NoDa)
area. The proposed station location is primarily surrounded by industrial uses, as well as single-
family residential development. Approximately 19% of the area within %2-mile of the proposed
station is vacant. Commercial uses are found in the core area of NoDa, along North Davidson
Street between East 34th Street and 36th Street. This area has an increasingly urban character
with the intensification of the surrounding residential development. Newer high-density
residential uses can be found along North Davidson Street in the form of new construction and
mill conversions. Active industrial warehousing and trucking facilities are located north of 36th
Street to Sugar Creek Station. There is moderate potential for infill and redevelopment in this
area.
All of the area within %2-mile of the proposed 36th Street Station is within the Upper Little Sugar
Creek Watershed. There are some smaller streams or tributaries of the Little Sugar Creek in
the vicinity of the proposed station, and Little Sugar Creek and its associated floodplains make
up a large portion of the area just north of the proposed station. GIS mapping does not reveal
any wetlands within %2-mile of the proposed station; however, wetlands were delineated just
north of the proposed rail corridor.
Sugar Creek Station:
The Sugar Creek Station would include two park-and-ride lots on the north side of the rail
corridor. The predominant land use surrounding the proposed Sugar Creek Station is industrial,
although single-family residential makes up almost one-quarter of the area. Commercial uses
make up a small portion of the area within %2-mile of the proposed station. Approximately 25% of
the area is vacant. Several of the vacant parcels are large in size and have potential for
redevelopment; however, the presence of environmental constraints and lack of infrastructure
may limit development.

Most of the area within %2-mile of the proposed Sugar Creek Station is within the Upper Little
Sugar Creek Watershed, but a small portion is within the Briar Creek Watershed, which is part
of the Lower Catawba portion of the Catawba River Basin. The Little Sugar Creek is located
approximately %2-mile north of the proposed station, and there are associated floodplains.
There are some other small streams, possibly unnamed tributaries of Little Sugar Creek, located
near the proposed light rail alignment in this area. GIS mapping does not reveal any wetlands
within %2-mile of the proposed station; however, some isolated wetlands were delineated.
Old Concord Road Station:
Land use surrounding the proposed Old Concord Road Station consists primarily of industrial
uses with some commercial and single-family residential uses throughout. Approximately 26%
of the property is vacant within %2-mile of the station. Eastway Park is located on the
southeastern side of the proposed light rail alignment and there are some environmental
constraints, limiting to some degree any potential for development.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed Old Concord Road Station is split between the Upper
Little Sugar Creek Watershed and the Briar Creek Watershed, both part of the Lower Catawba
portion of the Catawba River Basin. Briar Creek is located just east of the proposed light rail
alignment in this area, and there is a small tributary of the Little Sugar Creek approximately %2-
mile north of the proposed station. GIS mapping does not reveal any floodplains; however, two
small wetlands are located within %2-mile of the proposed station.
Tom Hunter Station:
Stable single-family residential uses surround the proposed Tom Hunter Station, with multi-
family uses on the west side of the rail corridor. Commercial, institutional and office uses are
concentrated along North Tryon Street/US-29. Approximately 26% of land within %2-mile of the
proposed station is vacant. There do not appear to be many environmental constraints;
however, development opportunities are limited due to lack of infrastructure.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed Tom Hunter Station is primarily located in the Mallard
Creek Watershed, which is part of the Rocky River portion of the Yadkin/Pee-Dee River Basin.
About a quarter of the area is located within the Upper Little Sugar Creek Watershed, which as
mentioned previously is part of the Lower Catawba portion of the Catawba River Basin. Two
small streams are located approximately %2-mile from the proposed station, and GIS mapping
reveals a small wetland approximately '/4-mile west of the proposed station. There do not
appear to be floodplains within %2-mile of the proposed station.
University City Blvd. Station:
The land surrounding the proposed University City Blvd. Station (Figure 8c) is primarily
undeveloped and approximately 59% of the land within %2-mile is classified as vacant. Scattered
office, industrial and commercial uses can be found along North Tryon Street/US-29 as well as
residential uses along the southern portion of the station area. Newer development is emerging
with the construction of IKEA and Walmart stores, and there is a strong potential for
development/redevelopment opportunities.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed University City Blvd. Station is located in the Mallard
Creek Watershed. Three streams are located within %2-mile of the proposed station, and GIS
mapping reveals a small wetland approximately '/4-mile west of the proposed station. There do
not appear to be floodplains within %2-mile of the proposed station.

McCullough Station:
The majority of the existing land uses surrounding the proposed McCullough Station are
commercial and office uses. Most of the office development is located on the western side of
North Tryon Street/US-29. Approximately 32% of the land within %2-mile of the proposed station
is vacant. Access is adequate with several feeder roads connecting to North Tryon Street/US-
29, and there are few environmental constraints, indicating a strong potential for
development/redevelopment opportunities.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed McCullough Station is located in the Mallard Creek
Watershed. Three streams are located within %2-mile of the proposed station. GIS mapping
reveals no floodplains or wetlands within %2-mile of the proposed station.
JW Clay Blvd. Station:
The area surrounding the proposed JW Clay Blvd. Station is largely made up of public and
institutional uses; these institutions are UNC Charlotte and the CMC-University. Commercial
and residential uses can be found within %2-mile of the proposed station. Approximately 20% of
the land surrounding this proposed station is currently vacant. Access is adequate with several
feeder roads connecting to North Tryon Street/US-29, and there are few environmental
constraints, indicating a strong potential for development/redevelopment opportunities.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed JW Clay Blvd. Station is located in the Mallard Creek
Watershed. Several streams are located within %2-mile of the proposed station, including Toby
Creek and associated floodplains as well as an unnamed tributary of Mallard Creek. Toby Creek
is located almost %2-mile southeast of the proposed station. GIS mapping reveals no wetlands
within %2-mile of the proposed station.
UNC Charlotte Station:
The UNC Charlotte Station area primarily encompasses public and institutional uses on the
UNC Charlotte campus, including research facilities. The public and institutional uses account
for approximately 72% of property located within %2-mile of the proposed station. Approximately
15% of the area is vacant. The current UNC Charlotte Master Plan outlines additional expansion
plans to double the existing academic space from 1.2 million square feet to 2.2 million square
feet. UNC Charlotte anticipates a student population of 35,000 students by 2020. There is a
strong potential for development/redevelopment opportunities; although there is little opportunity
for private investment due to ownership by UNC Charlotte.
The area within %2-mile of the proposed UNC Charlotte Station is located in the Mallard Creek
Watershed. Toby Creek and Mallard Creek are both located within %2-mile of the proposed
station, and both creeks have associated floodplains, particularly west and north of the
proposed station. GIS mapping reveals a wetland located almost %2-mile northeast of the
proposed station; additionally, some isolated wetlands were delineated.
Protected Species and Habitat
There are no known protected species located in the immediate vicinity of the project and most
of the corridor is maintained/disturbed habitat. Fragmentation and loss of wildlife habitat are
unavoidable consequences of the LYNX BLE and new development. Some wildlife species
which occur within the study area may be permanently displaced as a result of changes in plant
community boundaries. Increased urbanization has already diminished habitat opportunities as
woodlands and undeveloped land are committed to development.
Indirect effects that would result from induced growth would be the continued loss of habitat
within the corridor. The areas that remain forested are located within the University City Blvd.

Station area and the areas to the north. While loss of habitat could occur as a result of
development within the corridor, the concentration of development within the corridor would
occur within the areas that are primarily developed as commercial corridors already. It is unlikely
that large areas of forested habitat would be cleared as a result of induced growth from the
project. The LYNX BLE may have fewer indirect effects than the No-Build Alternative due to the
compact development patterns encouraged by the TODs.
Parks and Recreational Resources
It is not likely that induced growth would eliminate or disrupt parks and recreational resources.
There are several public parks and recreational facilities within the study area and increased
development would not reduce the County's ability to provide adequate facilities for the
population.
Transportation
The Preferred Alternative would result in changes to some local traffic operations and street
patterns, particularly along North Tryon Street/US-29 where the Preferred Alternative would
operate within the median of the road. Along those segments, left turns that are currently
allowed would be prohibited. To accommodate motorists, u-turns would be permissible at
selected signalized intersections, resulting in no drastic changes to accessibility. However,
motorists who utilize u-turn options may experience increased travel time and distance. Some
local residents may utilize secondary neighborhood streets as short-cuts. As a result, increased
cut-through traffic in some neighborhoods could result.
The potential negative indirect effects of the proposed project would be off-set from the
enhanced access to transit that would be associated with the Preferred Alternative. Both
alternatives would provide another mode of transportation for residents and community service
patrons and provide a more efficient option to automobile and bus travel. Additionally,
accessibility for transit users, bicyclists and pedestrians within the Northeast Corridor would be
positively impacted by the proposed project. Pedestrian improvements (sidewalks, crossings,
etc.) are proposed along the corridor and beyond (through a separate project the Northeast
Corridor Improvements Project), and bicycle lanes would be constructed along North Tryon
Street/US-29 as part of the Preferred Alternative. Given the distance of most neighborhoods
from the proposed Preferred Alternative, overall negative effects to automobile travel patterns
and accessibility are not anticipated.
7.0 ANALYSIS OF CUMULATIVE EFFECTS
In determining cumulative effects, the past present and future activities were reviewed in
conjunction with potential project effects on notable features.
Past: Traditional development patterns have generally followed a sprawling land use pattern.
Low-density residential uses have developed in isolation from employment centers and
shopping. Office parks, shopping centers, apartments, and single-family subdivisions generally
creep further and further from Center City Charlotte into the outer areas of the corridor. This
pattern of land use has resulted in the following cumulative effects:
• Loss of open space;
• Degradation of water and air quality;
• Decreased mobility due to declining levels of service of roadways (i.e. traffic congestion);
• Increased commute times due to traffic congestion;
• Increases in auto dependency and fuel consumption;
December 2011 Page 39 Rev. 00

Qualitative Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment
LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
• Loss of sense of place and community due to isolation of land uses;
• Isolation (i.e., separation) of employees from activity centers, homes, daycare and schools;
• Decline in economic activity in Center City Charlotte and other employment centers;
• Reduced economic opportunity in existing buildings, facilities, and services; and
• Overall decline in quality of life.
Present: The region has implemented land use policies and plans to change past trends and
focus future development into growth corridors and activity centers. Present activities include
both private and public projects within the corridor. The private projects include new mixed-use
developments, single family and multi-family residential development and a variety of other
commercial and office development.
Specifically, Center City Charlotte has experienced recent development activity, including
residential development. Additionally, development has recently occurred within the NoDa area.
This development has been primarily positive due to the proximity to the proposed transit
corridor, the consistency with local land use policies and the mixed nature of the development.
UNC Charlotte also has construction underway to accommodate enrollment growth.
There are also a variety of public projects underway, including roadway improvements, water
and sewer line installations and streetscape improvements. The most noteworthy current project
in the corridor is the City of Charlotte's project at North Tryon Street/US-29 and University City
Boulevard/NC-49, to convert the "weave" configuration into two at-grade, signalized
intersections. The project will improve safety for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists in the area.
Future: There are numerous planned private development projects and publicly-funded capital
improvements related to or separate from the proposed LYNX BLE. In addition to these
improvements, several large transportation projects that would affect overall travel and freight
mobility in the region are in the planning stages. These projects are currently being proposed by
MUMPO, CATS, NCDOT and the Norfolk Southern Corporation.
LYNX Blue Line Extension
There are a number of projects planned that cumulatively would improve the mobility of people
and goods along and through the FLUSA. Combined, these actions are not likely to result in
substantial additional direct effects beyond those identified individually by each project. Should
the construction schedules of the projects all occur within the same time period, the temporary
effects from those activities could negatively affect the surrounding communities. At the present
time, specific project plans and construction schedules are unknown and therefore specific
construction-related cumulative effects cannot be determined. The proposed LYNX BLE is likely
to be constructed close in time and place with the NCDOT's Sugar Creek Grade Separation
Project. The project would either be constructed before or in conjunction with the construction of
the proposed LYNX BLE.
As previously discussed, CATS has programmed major transit projects throughout the region
beyond the current action described in the EIS. The adopted 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan
consists of multiple transit improvements in five corridors, a series of improvements in Center
City Charlotte, and bus service and facility improvements throughout the rest of the region.
The implementation of transit projects in multiple corridors as part of the development of an
overall transit system plan would improve mobility and accessibility throughout the region. The
development of the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan provides benefits to the traveling public
through new services; expansion of existing services; and improved connectivity and

accessibility. It also is expected to reduce dependency on auto use and reduce the associated
auto-generated roadway congestion, air pollution emissions and energy consumption.
The proposed project, combined with non-project activities, could cumulatively result in minor
negative effects to notable environmental features. However, these effects would likely occur
with or without the proposed project.
Development and infrastructure improvements with the potential to cumulatively affect water
quality through erosion and stream sedimentation, increases in non-point source pollution
associated with increasing impervious surfaces and land disturbing activities.
Cumulative water quality effects may be an issue in the northern portion of the corridor
where existing development is sparse, but includes vacant land that would continue to be
attractive for growth due to the I-485 completion.
Habitat loss resulting from conversion of agricultural or undeveloped land to urban and
suburban development. Development is expected to continue in the corridor, resulting in
habitat loss and conversion of forest to urban/suburban uses.
8.0 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE EFFECTS CONCLUSIONS
The City of Charlotte Planning Department and CATS are planning and implementing strategies
to proactively manage the future growth that is projected for the Charlotte region. Several
policies, tools, and planning initiatives have been adopted to implement the vision of several
local land use and transportation plans, including the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth
Framework (August 2010), 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan, the Northeast Area Plan, the
University City Area Plan, and the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan.
As envisioned in the region's plans, future development would be focused into areas that can
support new development or are in need of redevelopment and away from areas that cannot
support new growth. The highest density development would be encouraged around light rail
stations. The FTA considers %2-mile to be a safe and convenient distance to walk to public
transit. Because of the accessibility and walkability, transit stations often become focused
development areas that are expected to experience effects as a result of a transit project. TOD
focuses on creating compact neighborhoods with housing, jobs, shopping, community services,
and recreational opportunities all within a%2-half mile walking distance of a transit station.
Project-related indirect effects outside of this area are not as likely.
By focusing future growth in corridors with multiple travel alternatives, the region would be able
to grow in a manner that promotes continued access and mobility and that enhances the quality
of life for residents and employees. The types, pattern, and density of future and even existing
development may be affected, but limited to localized areas surrounding station locations.
The probability of sweeping land use changes in the FLUSA related to the project is minimal.
The FLUSA is expected to retain its overall urban to suburban character, and development
interest and activity would exist with or without the project. However, the project is more likely
to encourage land use changes, redevelopment, and infill development at specifically targeted
station areas.
The Northeast Corridor (and FLUSA) have experienced change in the past few years, emerging
with three distinct characteristics: the edgy, in-town district along North Davidson Street
referred to as NoDa; an aging suburban corridor along North Tryon Street/US-29 from Sugar
Creek Road to Tom Hunter Road; and a suburban corridor experiencing mixed success from
University City Boulevard north to I-485. It is projected that the North Davidson Street area will

continue to fuel strong opportunities for intensification of residential, retail and creative office
opportunities, particularly around the Parkwood, and 36th Street stations. Retail abandonment,
limited interstate access, and economic stagnation are expected to temper the pace of
development in the Sugar Creek Road to Tom Hunter Road area. The University City area and
its proposed stations could benefit from several large-scale potentially catalytic projects. These
projects include Belgate, UNC Charlotte expansion and associated development projects, and
University Place.
The variations in development and land use patterns in the FLUSA will vary from existing
patterns mostly around station areas. These variations from existing uses would likely be the
transition to mixed-use designations in areas where there is the greatest potential for TOD.
Existing land use policies and development regulations support the implementation of the
proposed Light Rail Alternative. The proposed project would provide a substantial improvement
to an established, overburdened transportation corridor. In addition, the proposed project would
meet the City of Charlotte's and Mecklenburg County's desires to implement long-range plans
that integrate land use and transportation policies, and potential indirect effects related to
resources and water quality would be minimized by regulations in place to protect these
resources.

The potential for growth and land use changes in the FLUSA as a result of the proposed project
is low-to-moderate under the LYNX BLE. Most of the FLUSA contains neighborhoods in an
urban or suburban setting, and the proposed project is not likely to cause a substantial change
in type or intensity of land use throughout the FLUSA. The FLUSA will experience growth and
development in the study time frame with or without the proposed project, as evidenced by
population and employment projections. The proposed project is not likely to influence if growth
will occur in the corridor, but rather where and how the growth would occur.
It is not expected that project-related growth and water quality effects will be of such magnitude
that a quantitative watershed analysis is necessary. Induced growth as a result of the project
could have an indirect effect on water resources and water quality. However, growth resulting
from the proposed project would occur at a low-to-moderate rate. Without the project, it is
expected this same growth would occur within the corridor; but would occur at lower densities
and in a less concentrated manner. Because of this, the LYNX BLE would have fewer effects to
water resources and water quality than the No-Build Alternative. In addition, water quality
concerns should be mitigated by the many regulations enacted to protect valuable resources.

ATTACHMENT H
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project — Request for Individual Permit LYNX
Blue Line
Extension
Attachment H: General Construction Sequence
As outlined on the plans created for the LYNX BLE, the construction contractor shall follow the
phasing as described herein. Construction phases may be performed concurrently, except where
noted. All work described in the project phasing shall be performed by the contractor, except
where it is specified for certain work to be performed by others. The construction sequencing
descriptions refer to the entire project and is not limited to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
The phasing refers to specific traffic control drawings shown in the plans or diagrams from the
work area traffic control handbook (watch) published by Charlotte Department of Transportation
(CDOT). The contractor shall follow these procedures and diagrams. If these procedures and/or
diagrams are not typical for the field conditions, the diagrams may be combined or altered upon
the approval of the engineer. The standards, procedures, and diagrams shown in the traffic
control plans or in the watch are minimum required. Additional signs, cones, barricades, and
warning devices may be used, but at no time will less than what is specified in the standards,
procedures, and diagrams be acceptable. No construction access or staging in waters of the U.S.
is proposed. Construction fencing will be used to prevent people and equipment from accidentally
entering jurisdictional areas that have not been permitted for impacts.
Phase 1- Advanced utility relocations by others in the southernmost segment of the LYNX BLE
project corridor. Construction of Phase 1 shall be completed prior to beginning any subsequent
phases. It is anticipated that Stream C will be the only jurisdictional water that will be impacted by
utility relocations, for the proposed new stream crossing of the existing sanitary sewer.
Phase 2— North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) and Norfolk Southern (NS) rail line relocations. Phase
2 shall be constructed following the completion of Phase 1. Phase 2 may be constructed
concurrently with portions of Phases 3- 11, except for the following:
• Freight track relocation from — Norfolk Southern Railroad North Bound (NSRNB) - sta.
