4f. Non -riparian wetland mitigation requested: 4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested:
(acres) (acres)

4h. Comments
Compensatory mitigation is required to ensure minimal adverse environmental effects. The project area is located within the larger Lower Catawba
watershed (HUG 03050103) which is highly urban. An NCSAM assessment of Stream 1 resulted in a quality rating of Low, likely due to the highly
urbanized drainage basin. Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) in -
lieu fee program. 225 LF of stream impacts will be mitigated through the purchase of stream mitigation credits. Based on the NCSAM assessment of
Low for Stream 1,
mitigation is proposed at a 1.5:1 ratio. Since the proposed impacts are within the Catawba 03 Expanded Service Area, the ratio doubles to 3:1, or 675
stream mitigation credits. In total, 675 stream mitigation credits will be purchased from NCDMS to offset impacts associated with this project. A copy of
the NCSAM forms and the NCDMS In -Lieu Fee Acceptance Letter is attached.

A.PreliminaryDetermination
܈ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map undated. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be
used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts,
compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they
are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable
action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
܆ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA
jurisdiction over all of the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination

܆ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
܆ There are waterson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of

jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required
or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit
rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit
authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to
comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in
reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the
applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g.,
signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of
Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources
in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or
enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as
soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate
to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic
resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as
soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that
there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all
aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on
the following information:

Dear Chris Tinklenberg:

Subject: Savona Mill Undisclosed Development; Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed your correspondence dated November
9, 2020, wherein you request our comments regarding potential project-mediated impacts to
federally protected species. The Service submits the following comments in accordance with the
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).

Project Description
According to the information provided you anticipate that the proposed project will require
authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to jurisdictional streams
associated with the construction of an undisclosed development in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Project plans, a description of proposed impacts to jurisdictional features, and a description of
impact avoidance measures have not been provided at this time. The site was formerly an
industrial development. Onsite habitats are significantly disturbed and consist of undeveloped
successional forest, disturbed open space, paved areas, transitional habitats, and several
buildings. Stewart Creek borders the western portion of the site.

Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project
vicinity for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However,
the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-
eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation
site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season
(June 1 – July 31). Based on the information provided, the project (which may or may not
require tree clearing) would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from
associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule.

Based on the information provided, suitable habitat (albeit low quality) for the federally
endangered Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), smooth coneflower (Echinacea
2

laevigata), and Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii) occurs within the project’s action area 1.
However, targeted botanical surveys conducted during optimal survey windows did not detect
evidence for that species at that time.

Due to the presence of suitable habitat, but lack of onsite evidence for these species, we believe
the probability for project-mediated loss of these plants is insignificant and discountable.
Therefore, we would concur with a “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” determination
from applicable federal action agencies.

Based on the information provided we believe that suitable habitat is not present onsite for any
other federally protected species and we require no further action at this time. Please be aware
that obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new
information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical
habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a
manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is
determined that may be affected by the identified action.

We offer the following general recommendations for the Applicant’s consideration:

Erosion and Sediment Control
Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing native vegetation should be retained
(if possible) to maintain riparian cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas should be
revegetated with native vegetation and/or organic material as soon as the project is completed.
Ground disturbance should be limited to what will be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of
the workday. If erosion control matting is required, only natural fiber matting (coir) should
be used as synthetic netting can trap animals and persists in the environment beyond its
intended purpose.

Low Impact Development
The Service is concerned about potential stormwater-mediated impacts to streams and/or
wetlands that may occur onsite. Where detention ponds are used, storm-water outlets should
drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention
structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the
potential adverse effects of storm-water surges; thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and
chemical discharges. Since the purpose of storm-water-control is to protect streams and
wetlands, no storm-water-control measures or best management practices should be
installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent) or wetland. We recommend that
retention ponds be located at least 750 feet from small wetlands to minimize hydrologic
disturbance and ecological function.

1 Pursuant to 50 CFR §402.02, the Action Area includes all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal
action and not merely the immediate area involved in the action. Moreover, the Effects of the Action are all
consequences to listed species or critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences
of other activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action if it
would not occur but for the proposed action and it is reasonably certain to occur. Effects of the action may occur
later in time and may include consequences occurring outside the immediate area involved in the action (see also 50
CFR §402.17)
3

Stream Crossings
If the proposed project requires stream crossings for site access, we recommend the use of
bridges or spanning structures. Structures should span the channel and the floodplain in order to
minimize impacts to aquatic resources, allow for the movement of aquatic and terrestrial
organisms, and eliminate the need to place fill in streams and floodplains.

Bridges should be designed and constructed so that no piers or bents are placed in the stream,
approaches and abutments do not constrict the stream channel, and the crossing is perpendicular
to the stream. Spanning some or all of the floodplain allows the stream to access its floodplain
and dissipate energy during high flows and also provides for terrestrial wildlife passage. When
bank stabilization is necessary, we recommend that the use of riprap be minimized and that a
riprap-free buffer zone be maintained under the bridge to allow for wildlife movement. If fill in
the floodplain is necessary, floodplain culverts should be added through the fill to allow the
stream access to the floodplain during high flows.

If bridges are not possible and culverts are the only option, we suggest using bottomless culverts.
Bottomless culverts preserve the natural stream substrate, create less disturbance during
construction and provide a more natural post-construction channel. Culverts should be
sufficiently sized to mimic natural stream functions and habitats located at the crossing site;
allow for water depth, volume (flow), and velocity levels that will permit aquatic organism
passage; and accommodate the movement of debris and bed material during bank-full events.
Widening the stream channel must be avoided.

The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron
Hamstead of our staff at [e-mail], if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-21-019.
